    9 Amazing Vegan Mac and Cheese Recipes

    Published: May 30, 2017 · Updated: Aug 18, 2021 · This post may contain affiliate links.

    Mac and cheese is such a classic comfort food that it’s no wonder that the vegan version has become a classic, too. There are so many great ways to make vegan mac and cheese — some of which involve no (vegan) cheese at all. So indulge all you want — these recipes will please kids of all ages.

    In Sophia Zergiotis’s Roasted Sweet Potato Macaroni and “Cheese” recipe (shown at top), the cheesiness comes from a combination of roasted sweet potato, mustard, and nutritional yeast. The result is a nostalgic mac and cheese with a grown up edge and a rich, creamy, and satisfying dish.

    Here’s basic Vegan Mac and Cheese that’s kind of the modern classic version, and so simple and creamy — made with silken tofu, vegan cheese, vegan butter.  Baked butternut vegan mac n cheese

    Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese uses sweet, creamy butternut squash in the sauce. Gena Hamshaw, who contributed the recipe, says it's her favorite, and it might become yours, too. To create an authentic cheese flavor, she uses a combination of nutritional yeast, miso, smoked paprika, salt, and lemon juice.
