Today I’ve rounded up my favorite Healthy Kid Friendly Vegetarian Dinner Recipes! Even if your child is picky, you’re sure to find a few new easy go-to dinner recipes here! All are easily adapted to be vegan or gluten free, if they aren’t already!
I know that the phrase “Kid Friendly” can be very subjective! What one kid gobbles up, another kid won’t even touch. Some kids are more adventurous and are willing to try anything while others have their staple meals that they eat over and over again. So, I most definitely cannot promise that your kid will enjoy every single one of these Healthy Kid Friendly Vegetarian Dinner Recipes!
I can tell you that my almost 2 year old has enjoyed all of these meals though and I definitely wouldn’t call him the most adventurous eater! We all know our own kids and their palettes, so some of these recipes might require a little tweaking to get just right for your kiddos, but I’m hoping you will find this list useful and that your kids will enjoy at least a few of these Healthy Kid Friendly Vegetarian Dinner Recipes!
A lot of these vegetarian dinner recipes can be made in 30 minutes or less and all of them are very easily modified to make gluten free or vegan, if they aren’t already 🙂

Thanks so much for the recipes! It’s been so hard to find vegan/vegetarian recipes that the kiddos and husband love. Both are meat fans and I am trying to cut out all the meat these all look delicious!! Thanks so much 😊😊😊
Yah! I’m so glad you find them helpful! My husband loves meat so I try to come up with meals that meal eaters will enjoy too!
Mmm, these look delicious! So creative. I am excited to try one of them this week! Thank you for sharing! 🙂
Thank you, Stacey! I hope you find some that you like!
I have made probably 8 of your recipes for dinner my husband and I loved them! My kids actually ate some of them and really loved the pumpkin macaroni and cheese. Keep posting!
That’s so nice to hear, Karen!! And awesome that your kids and husband loved them too! I know it can be a struggle to cook for husbands and kids somethings haha 🙂 Thank you!
Thank you so much for this! I was slowly forgetting everything I used to make for my family, and finally decided to restart my “plan to eat” account. I added all kinds of recipes from here, which is saying a lot, because we have so many restrictions and picky eaters in this house!
Yah! I hope you find some your entire house enjoys! 🙂
Thank you for sharing! My 12 year old has been transitioning into the “meatless” world… and it has been so difficult to find meals that the entire family would enjoy as we support her choice of no meat. I hope these recipes not only help us bond as we are making them together, but that they continue to support her decision… and hopefully ours of going meatless in the future. I thank you!
That’s so nice to hear, Daliz! And great that you are supporting her! I hope she likes some of these recipes 🙂
