Introduction
Asparagus season has just begun, and I’m not the only one with lots of fresh asparagus readily available for some tasty recipes.
If you’re tired of the same old asparagus recipe, here are 35 vegan recipes you can make today, including but not limited to the following.
- Asparagus Po’ Boy
- Asparagus Arancini
- Asparagus-Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
- Asparagus Pizza
- Oven-Roasted Asparagus
1. Asparagus Po’ Boy
I’m familiar with Bryant Terry because I have one of his cookbooks at home (Afro-Vegan). Try his vegan asparagus po’ boy that he shared in Best of Vegan.
A po’ boy is one of many traditional American recipes.
2. Asparagus Arancini
While researching some vegan asparagus recipes, I learned that arancini are Italian rice balls. Make some vegan asparagus arancini from Foodaciously.
3. Asparagus-Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
I like sweet potatoes because they are starchy and sweet. Have some asparagus-stuffed sweet potatoes from Floating Kitchen.

4. Asparagus Pizza
Pizza is one of my favorite comfort foods. Make some vegan asparagus pizza from The Curious Chickpea.
I have the perfect blog post about vegan pizza if you are a pizza lover like me.
5. Oven-Roasted Asparagus
I want you to try a new flavor combo: asparagus and citrus. Here is a flavorful vegan roasted asparagus dish from Heal Me Delicious
6. Pasta Primavera
Another comfort food I greatly enjoy is pasta. Try some asparagus and mushroom pasta primavera from Bianca Zapatka.

7. Asparagus Spirals
Lisa from The Viet Vegan has lots of yummy vegan appetizers up her sleeve. For example, here is her vegan asparagus spiral recipe.
8. Nicoise Salad
I’ve been told too many times that when in doubt, food joints have salads as a vegan option for me. The last time I checked, no vegetarian salads are available at most restaurants around here, let alone vegan.
Make this vegan Nicoise salad from Sweet Potato Soul if you are a salad lover.
9. Asparagus Quiche
Vegans can’t have eggs because they come from animals. Fortunately, this asparagus quiche from Contentedness Cooking is vegan because it gets its eggy texture from blending tofu and almond milk.
10. Asparagus Galette
Who’s in the mood to have some galette? Here’s a vegan asparagus galette from Rainbow Plant Life.
11. Asparagus Risotto
Who wants some risotto right now? Have this vegan asparagus risotto from Vibrant Plate.
12. Asparagus Soup
When I think of soups, I associate them with being super cold outside, but not anymore. Puréed veggie soups, like this vegan asparagus soup from Clean & Delicious, are excellent for warmer times of the year.

Here’s another salad recipe. Try this vegan asparagus pasta salad from Zucker&Jagdwurst.

15. Asparagus Fettuccine Alfredo
Fettuccine Alfredo gives me nostalgia for when my family and I made boxed fettuccine Alfredo as a kid. Here’s some scallop and asparagus fettuccine Alfredo from Sweet Simple Vegan.
16. Asparagus Quinoa Salad
Adding quinoa is an excellent alternative to rice. Try this asparagus and pea quinoa salad from My Darling Vegan.
17. Asparagus Curry
Curry is my favorite Indian dish. Make some vegan asparagus curry from Vegan Richa.
18. Asparagus Persian Rice
I’m horrible at making rice, even in a rice cooker. If you can cook rice okay beyond microwavable 90-second baggies, here is some vegan Persian rice from Holy Cow.
19. Spring Flatbread
Flatbread may be a good alternative if you’re in the mood for pizza but want to change things up. Prep some spring flatbread from Well Vegan.
20. Asparagus Couscous Salad
After I went vegan, I started making a lot of grains on the stovetop. Unfortunately, I can’t eat plain grains anymore because I often choke on them. Instead, I should try this asparagus pearl couscous salad recipe from Vegan in the Freezer.
21. Asparagus Spinach Gnocchi
While writing this blog post, I bought an exercise bike with a desk on Amazon because I was so tired of not going to the gym since COVID-19 started shutting everything down. I must reward myself with vegan asparagus spinach gnocchi from 2 Share My Joy.
22. Green Summer Rolls
Summer rolls are similar to spring rolls except for the following.
- Summer rolls originate from Vietnam, not China.
- They are wrapped in rice paper instead of thin dough
- Summer rolls are served cold rather than getting fried first.
Here are some vegan summer rolls from Lazy Cat Kitchen.
23. Asparagus Sheet Pan Dinner
I like sheet pan recipes because they require little work beyond cutting up ingredients, putting them in the oven, and taking them out as needed. Try this vegan sheet pan dinner from The Simple Veganista.
24. Asparagus Puff Pastry Bundles
I’m unfamiliar with puff pastries because I’m American, meaning the closest thing I’ve come to having puff pastries are Pillsbury crescent rolls and biscuits.
Make these vegan asparagus puff pastries from Bianca Zapatka.
25. Lemon Garlic Butter Asparagus
Buttery asparagus is the perfect side to have with your supper. Here’s some vegan lemon garlic butter asparagus from Make It Dairy Free.
26. Bacon-Wrapped Asparagus
Everybody who told me I would never have bacon again as a vegan lied. Make some vegan bacon-wrapped asparagus from NeuroticMommy.
27. Roasted Asparagus With Hollandaise Sauce
I’m very picky about my condiments. Nevertheless, I recommend you try this vegan roasted asparagus with Hollandaise sauce recipe from Carrots & Flowers.
28. Asparagus Frittata
I’m surprised how many vegan egg recipes are out there. For instance, check out this vegan asparagus frittata recipe from This Healthy Kitchen.
29. Asparagus Salad
Enough with the salads, already. I get that logic, but you can hide the greens with as much dressing as you want and still feel healthy.
Make this vegan asparagus salad from Written By Vegan.
30. Asparagus Mushroom Breakfast Toast
I’m not used to having asparagus for breakfast, but I wouldn’t mind trying it out if you did too. Try some vegan asparagus toast from Ve Eat Cook Bake.
