    24 Vegan Copycat Recipes

    Published Apr 3, 2023 · Updated Mar 24, 2018 · 2 Comments

    This post may contain affiliate links. See my disclosure policy.

    Missing your favorites from fast food places and restaurants, like Taco Bell, In-N-Out, and Olive Garden? Check out these awesome healthy vegan copycat recipes!

    Collage of 4 images of vegan copycat recipes - crunchwrap, chicken nuggets, kfc famous bowls, and orange tofu.

    If you've been vegan for any amount of time, you'll know how tough it can be to eat out. It seems like all the food out there contains animal products - seriously. Hidden beef in french fries. Lard in refried beans. Cheese in...EVERYTHING.

    Navigating a menu can be such a headache. That's not to say it's impossible, though! More and more options for vegans are becoming available (check out this list.)

    But when you don't want to dissect a menu or worry about the chef or fast food employee accidentally adding cheese or meat into your dish, you can still make really tasty vegan food at home that is JUST as good - if not better than - the restaurant or fast food versions.

    Some of my favorite food blogger friends & I have created really amazing vegan copycat recipes from places like Taco Bell, Panera Bread, In-N-Out, Starbucks, Pizza Hut, and more! Cravings, begone.

    This In-n-Out favorite is made vegan AND healthy thanks to From My Bowl. It's totally oil-free (the fries are baked, yum!) and there's even a recipe for that special sauce. Perfect for movie snacking...or let's be serious - any meal because potatoes are life. Of course, these totally make the best side for that In-N-Out burger I told you about above.

    Zuppa Toscana

    I don't care what anyone says, Olive Garden is DELICIOUS (sorry my authentic Italian friends!)

Yummy Mummy Kitchen recommends using the Field Roast Italian Sausage and I couldn't agree more, that stuff is incredible.

    Vegan. 7. Layer. Burrito. Do I really need to say more?! Between this and the crunch wrap above, you won't even miss Taco Bell. Connoisseurs Veg used refried beans, tahini cheese sauce (yeah, really!) and cashew sour cream in her tasty vegan copycat burrito.
