Top 35 Vegan Copycat Recipes: Home-Cooked Favorite Restaurant Meals

You know the feeling. You just crave a Chipotle Sofritas Bowl or Olive Garden’s Minestrone Soup. So, you try to do your best to replicate that same recipe in your own kitchen. It’s a fun endeavor to try to match the flavors, textures, and tastes in a fully vegan copycat recipe from your favorite chain restaurant. You can even try to turn a meat-based restaurant feature into a plant-based one. Even better, you can take that classic restaurant burrito or kale salad and make it a bit healthier than the restaurant version by improving on the recipe. Here’s the cool thing! I asked some of my favorite food bloggers to share their own top copycat recipes so that you don’t even have to do the work! We’ve got vegan restaurant copycat recipes here for everything, from soups and salads to burritos and bowls and beverages and desserts. Get ready to dig in to these Top 35 Vegan Copycat Recipes, and the whole family will love it! I’ve even got a few of my own favorite additions. This collection of Top 30 Vegan Copycat Recipes brings you homemade versions of popular restaurant-style meals, recreated with wholesome vegan ingredients.
