10 Creamy Gluten-Free and Vegan Red Lentil Recipes

Last Updated on April 9, 2019 By Vicky 5 Comments

Here’s a round up of ten gluten-free and vegan red lentil recipes from fellow food bloggers. I just love the creaminess of these vegan red lentil recipes and I know so will you.

10 Gluten-Free and Vegan Red Lentil Recipes

We’re switching things up a bit here. Instead of the usual Friday Foodie Faves where I share my 10 favorite recipe finds from fellow food bloggers, now I’m switched over to themed posts.

With the beginning of fall now is the time to get into fall themed recipes. The past couple weeks I shared 10 Gluten Free Pumpkin Desserts, 10 Fall Apple Desserts, 10 Fall Sweet Potato Recipes, 10 Cauliflower Recipes,  and this week the theme is vegan red lentil recipes!

When D and I rented an apartment in Vancouver last week I bought a whole bag of red lentils to cook with and it has quickly reminded me how much I love this adorable little cooking ingredient.

I only recently, within the last few years, started cooking with lentils. Growing up my mom never cooked with lentils so it’s been a bit of a learning process. For one, I’ve realized I’m not a huge fan of brown lentils. I mean they’re ok, but nothing special to me.

Red lentils on the other hand are something else. First of all the cook quickly and I mean within 10 minutes. Now that is always a plus. And they’re just so soft and creamy, I just love ’em.

And I have no doubt you will too, so with red lentil recipes on my mind, here’s a round up of ten gluten-free and vegan red lentil recipes from fellow food bloggers.

Feel free to share in the comments if you have any Vegan Red Lentil Recipes in mind.

Red Lentil Soup with Cauliflower and Millet {Gluten-Free, Vegan}

I have never cooked with millet before but am interested in trying it out and this one pot meatless soup turned into full nutritious meal sounds like the perfect starting point’

Smoky Curried Red Lentil Coconut Soup {Gluten-Free, Vegan}

This soup gets tons of flavor from various spices including curry, turmeric, cumin, smoked paprika, etc and sound absolutely delicious! Definitely one of the best vegan red lentil recipes to make on a cold night.

Red Lentil and Sweet Potato Stew {Gluten-Free, Vegan}

A rich and healthy bowl of stew made with sweet potatoes, pumpkin, lentils, kale, carrots, tomato paste and lot of flavorful spices. Yum!

Red Lentil Dhal {Gluten-Free, Vegan}

A rich and creamy red lentil dhal inspired by a trip to India and made with a freshly made masala paste and red lentils simmered with coconut milk, tomatoes, onions, garlic and curry leaves.

Vegan Thai Red Curry Lentils with Spiralized Sweet Potato Noodles {Gluten-Free, Vegan}

Ok I seriously need to get a spiralizer asap! One of the easiest vegan red lentil recipes to make, ready in just 15 mins with spiralized sweet potato noodles topped with red lentils cooked with red curry paste and then a creamy avocado coconut milk sauce. Absolutely perfect.

Quinoa mujaddara  {Gluten-Free, Vegan}

A dish that comes together well and is made with lentils, broth, quinoa, onions, and spiced. Simple, easy and delicious.

I love making my own hummus at home, especially having the option to add in any other flavor ingredients, in this case red lentils, red curry paste, and curry powder.

Avocado Red Lentil Salad with Macadamia Oil and Cream of Balsamic {Gluten-Free, Vegan}

Interesting dressings for a simple red lentil and avocado salad. I have never tried Macadamia oil before but can imagine just how flavorful it is!

Chickpea, Red Lentil and Herbed Falafel {Gluten-Free, Vegan}

A twist on the traditional falafel with the addition of red lentils, carrots and a variety of spices. Use gluten-free panko for gluten-free version.
