Vegan St. Patrick’s Day

I know my son would love the cute shamrock shaped sugar cookies and my daughter adores anything mint so I am eyeing the mini mint chocolate brownies for her. Of course, my husband is a sucker for anything with potatoes and there are many of those vegan recipes on this list!

Truly something for anyone celebrating St. Patrick’s Day whether they are plant based, veg curious or going meat-free. This list contains the following vegan St. Patrick’s Day recipes: main dishes, sides and breads and desserts and drinks.
