Vegan Thanksgiving Roast

Thanksgiving is easily my favorite holiday!

I love all the planning and prep, decorating, and buildup to a day of food and festivities with the family. Especially since it’s so rare to have older kids all home at the same time.

I first served this crowd-pleasing meatless roast back in 2015 and it has become a staple of our Thanksgiving dinners ever since.

Mashed Potatoes and Mushroom Gravy pair exceptionally well as sides.

Quick Tips for Success

To save time in the kitchen on Thanksgiving, I like to prepare the filling a day in advance.
The puff pastry is also moved from the freezer to the refrigerator to thaw overnight.
On the day of the big feast, simply roll out the puff pastry dough, add the prepared filling, roll it back up, and bake.
It’s important to save the wrapping of the dough until the day of baking! You don’t want to run the risk of it getting soggy overnight. I’m not sure this would actually happen but let’s not find out!
