Ditching both gluten and meat? That can make meal planning tough! That's why we've rounded up 35+ of the best vegetarian and gluten-free recipes to make for dinner, from cozy fall curries and stuffed squash to easy sheet pan meals and takeout favorites.

This round-up is near and dear to my heart because I've had a nearly gluten-free and vegetarian kitchen for a while, and sometimes it can seem like there aren't very many options, especially for healthy dinners.
But it turns out there are so many delicious options out there! Now that the weather is cooling down, we've kicked things off with a few fall favorites like our Stuffed Acorn Squash, Spicy Butternut Squash Soup, and Easy Vegan Potato Curry. After that you'll find hearty stews, curries, pasta nights, and crowd-pleasing mains from Oh My Veggies, our sister site VegKitchen, and a couple of favorite fellow bloggers.
A quick gluten-free tip: regular soy sauce is made with wheat, and it shows up in a lot of savory recipes. Keep a bottle of gluten-free tamari in your pantry and use it anywhere a recipe calls for soy sauce. It's also worth double-checking labels on things like vegetable broth, curry paste, and hoisin sauce, since some brands contain gluten.
