Vegan Lebanese Recipes

Vegan Lebanese recipes are my specialty. Growing up on authentic Lebanese cuisine, I have a deep appreciation for its rich and vibrant flavors. When I transitioned to a plant-based diet, I adapted many of my favorite traditional dishes. Luckily, I found that many Lebanese recipes are naturally vegan, like manousheh with tomato and onion, tray-baked kibbeh, or hearty red lentil soup - I’m completely obsessed with this!

These recipes bring together the flavors I grew up with in a way that fits perfectly with a plant-based lifestyle, making them not only nostalgic but incredibly satisfying and nourishing.

Breakfast

When it comes to breakfast, I love starting my day with something hearty and full of flavor. Like the classic manakish topped with za’atar, which brings back fond memories of mornings in my mom's Lebanese kitchen.

Mains

For me, the main course is where the magic happens. Growing up, dishes like mujadara and stuffed grape leaves were always the stars of our family meals, they still hit the spot. These naturally vegan recipes bring all the comfort and flavor of traditional Lebanese cuisine.

In Lebanese cuisine, no meal is complete without a spread of small dishes. These mezze recipes are perfect for sharing and really bring out the best of plant-based ingredients with bold flavors.
