Halloween is almost here, so get your pumpkins and sweets ready for a festive spooky season. You can find plenty of easy vegan recipes to celebrate October, or you can gather inspiration by checking out great vegan cuisine photos on Instagram. Welcome to this week’s FoodFriday blog.

This week, we’ve got a great bunch of vegan food photos for you to enjoy, gathered from the galleries of Instagram’s dedicated foodies. We’ve got cakes, tacos and so much more for you to feast your eyes on.

Ready? Let’s dig right in!

 

Our first pick of the week belongs to @tasteofseasons, showcasing a wonderful butternut squash soup, complete with garlic and herbs to give it a nice flavor. Squash, or pumpkin, is a popular ingredient in a lot of dishes prepared during October, because it’s the Halloween season, so it only makes sense to begin the week with such a recipe. Delight in something flavorful and warm to eat during the chilly nights.

 

 

Next up is this platter of vegan chocolate chip cookie bars by @sixvegansisters. We love a nice and hot chocolate chip cookie, but a chocolate chip cookie bar is truly something else. Combining the chocolate goodness of a cookie with the chewiness and soft textures of a bar makes this treat extra special.

 

 

@joesveganfoodgram presents a packed and utterly mouth-watering shot of a vegan taco, made with tempeh and great tortilla dough. We love vegan meals that incorporate a lot of wonderful ingredients, and this taco incorporates plenty of memorable bits and pieces to create a wonderful finished result. We can only imagine what it’s like to chomp down on such a dish.

 

 

@vegan_ajvar’s presents a great poppyseed and blueberry pie, topped off with melted chocolate. We’re quite fond of the quick and succinct recipe provided in this particular IG food photo, which gives viewers a chance to try out this magnificent dessert dish. Perfect for the weekend.

 

 

Our final pick of the week belongs to @flora_and_vino, showcasing a magnificent set of vegan pumpkin donuts, together with maple sunbutter frosting. We’ve begun this week’s gallery with a savory pumpkin dish, and we’re ending it with a sweet pumpkin dessert. The bright orange color of these donuts really makes them appetizing, and the frosting is a great addition to its great flavors and presentation.

That’s it for this week. Be sure to visit us next week for a fresh batch of great vegan food photos to admire and be inspired by. Interested in showcasing your own vegan dishes? Just add the hashtags #FoodFriday and #VacationingVegan on your future IG vegan food photos, and who knows, maybe they’ll be featured in a future blog!
