12 VEGAN SOUL FOOD RECIPES

We’ve lived all over the country, but we’ve spent the most time in the south; so even though we’re a couple of nerdy white people, I like to think we know a thing or two about soul food. As you probably already know, meats, like chicken and pork, are a big part of traditional soul food, but so are grains and vegetables. You can’t have a proper soul food feast without black eyed peas, collard greens, and grits, which are all easy enough to make vegan. But you don’t have stop there… vegan fried chicken, vegan peach cobbler, and vegan BBQ ribs can all be yours as well, as long as you have a good recipe to follow. And so, without any further ado, we proudly present you with one dozen vegan soul food recipes!

#1. COPYCAT KFC “FAMILY FEAST” RECIPE

#2. HOMEMADE VEGAN BBQ SAUCE WITH SWEET POTATO FRIES

#3. VEGAN BISCUITS & GRAVY CASSEROLE

Biscuits and gravy is another soul food classic. This casserole version is perfect for a potluck. Get the recipe here.

#4. SWEET POTATO PIE

SWEET POTATO PIE

If you’re a fan of pumpkin pie, you should definitely try this sweet potato pie. It has many similar characteristics, but is nonetheless a soul food classic in its own right. Get the recipe here.

#5. BEER BATTERED FRIED “FISH”

 BEER BATTERED FRIED “FISH”

While technically a British creation, fried fish is also a soul food favorite. This beer batter is awesome and you can use it with any fish substitute you like. Get the recipe here.

#6. SAVORY GRITS WITH BBQ TEMPEH AND COLLARD GREENS

Forget about that instant stuff that comes in a packet. Just like oatmeal, it’s all about real grits boiled in a pot the old fashioned way. Get the recipe here.

#7. SPICY BUFFALO FRIED OKRA

SPICY BUFFALO FRIED OKRA

Okra is common vegetable used in southern cooking, and no soul food feast is complete without finger foods. Get the recipe here.

#8. VEGAN BARBECUE RIBS

Vegan Barbecue Ribs

For a lot of people, ribs might be the first food that comes to mind when they think of soul food. While it might seem like something that’s impossible to veganize, this blogger proves otherwise with her unbelievably convincing vegan ribs that look just like the real thing. I suggest pairing these with the BBQ sauce at #2.

#9. SOUTHERN STYLE VEGAN BLACK EYED PEAS

Black eyed peas are the perfect side dish for a soul food feast, and this recipe does ’em right. The only thing I’d do differently is add a little veggie bacon. Get the recipe here.

#10. STOVETOP VEGAN CORNBREAD

Of course, we can’t talk about soul food without mentioning cornbread. Here’s a vegan version that uses the classic stovetop skillet method. Get the recipe here.

#11. CREAMED COLLARD GREENS WITH CORNMEAL CRUSTED TOFU

Creamy Collard Greens with Cornmeal Crusted Tofu

These creamed collard greens with tempeh bacon are the epitome of soul food. If you want to turn this dish into a full meal, make it with the cornmeal crusted tofu and you’ll be stuffed before you know it. Get the recipe here.

#12. PEACH & BLACKBERRY COBBLER

Cobblers are a traditional soul food dessert. This blogger veganizes and combines two classic versions – peach and blackberry – and pairs them with a dairy-free vanilla bean ice cream. Get the recipe here.
