    The holidays have always been my favorite time of year. I love having some time off at the end of the year to focus on family... and of course cooking some amazing food.

    But of course it can be challenging to find holiday-worthy vegan recipes that are worthy of serving at a Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner, and that the whole family will enjoy.

    So this year I've created this totally gorgeous (and delicious!) Vegan Beet Wellington. This Mushroom Wellington is a similar concept, and has been one of my most popular recipes during the holiday season for decades.

    In fact, my readers have shared that wellington recipe over 346,000 times! Yes, it's that good.

    But for years I've received questions from readers about what other variations they can make with that vegan wellington recipe.

    So this year, I've created two additional spins on the original favorite recipe- a vegetable wellington packed full of seasonal veggies and this beet wellington loaded with tender roasted beets. And they are both amazing!

    If you're here planning your holiday menu, don't miss our new Vegan Christmas and Vegan Thanksgiving cookbooks. They're packed with all my favorite holiday-worthy recipes for a plant-based feast.

    Ingredients

    Here is what you'll need to make this totally delicious vegan beet wellington. Doesn't that just look amazing?

    ingredients for vegan beet wellington
    • Vegan Puff Pastry - You can use a store bought version or you can make your own homemade vegan puff pastry.
    • Mushrooms - I used simple white button mushrooms. Baby bellas would work well too.
    • Walnuts
    • Beets - I used frozen beets that were thawed and drained. But you can use fresh roasted beets or pre-steamed beets if you prefer.
    • Kidney Beans - Canned kidney beans work best for this recipe.
    • Shallot and garlic.
    • Soy Sauce - Feel free to substitute coconut aminos or tamari if you prefer.
    • Dried thyme
    • Paprika
    • Olive oil, salt, and pepper.

    Tip: Don't forget to defrost your puff pastry in the fridge the night before you're ready to cook so it's ready to use!

    See recipe card below for detailed measurements.

    How to Make a Vegan Beet Wellington - Step by Step

    This beet wellington is so totally gorgeous that guests will think you spent all day preparing it. But it's actually pretty simple to make in just 45 minutes!

    mixing together the beet filling

    Prepare the beet filling - packed with beets, kidney beans, mushrooms, and walnuts. Yum!

    spreading the beet filling on the puff pastry dough

    Spread the beet mixture on top of the puff pastry sheets.

    wrapping up the wellington in puff pastry dough

    Wrap the puff pastry around the beet mixture to form the wellingtons. Flip it over and score the top of the pastry.

    Bake the beet wellington at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes.

    And there you have it! A totally delicious vegan main dish that's pretty enough for your holiday table. This vegan beet wellington is perfectly savory, deliciously flaky, and baked to golden brown perfection.

    Hint: Don't forget to line your baking sheets with parchment paper so your beet wellington doesn't stick to the pan. Plus it makes clean up a breeze!

    Variations

    Swap the Kidney Beans. This recipe also works well with white cannellini beans. The texture is a bit creamier and the filling color will be a bit lighter too.

    Add some spice. For a bit of spice, add a pinch of crushed red pepper to the filling.

    Drizzle with a balsamic reduction. While delicious as-is, you can take things up a notch by serving with a drizzle of balsamic reduction. I like this store bought version or you can make your own.

    Storing Leftovers

    You can store any leftover beet wellington in the fridge for 2-3 days in an airtight container. Reheat in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit until warmed through.

    Make it a Feast!

    This vegan vegetable wellington makes a fantastic main dish for Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. Serve it alongside simple roasted cauliflower, crispy roast potatoes, and a slice of vegan pumpkin pie for dessert!

    FAQ

    Is puff pastry vegan?

    Yes, usually. Most major store brands of puff pastry are accidentally vegan. This means they are vegan friendly, even if not advertised as such. Always check the label. And of course, you can make your own homemade vegan puff pastry too!

    Can you make the Beet Wellington ahead of time?

    Yes, you can prepare the beet wellington up to 48 hours in advance. Just prepare the filling and assemble the wellington, but don't bake yet! Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to bake. You may need to add 15-20 minutes to the baking time when starting with a cold pastry.

    • 1 shallot peeled and halved
    • 3 cloves garlic peeled
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

    • While the mushrooms cook, add the beets and kidney beans to the food processor and pulse until only small pieces of beet remain, the kidney beans should be mostly ground up; then add to a large mixing bowl along with the mushroom mixture.
    • Stir together the mushrooms and beet mixture until fully combined.
    • Unroll the puff pastry sheet, then form the beet mixture into a loaf going down the center of the pastry.
    • Stretch the pastry around the beet mixture, pinching to seal well.

    • Allow to cool 10 minutes before slicing and serving
