Vegan Sloppy Joes
Mar 19, 2026 12:36 PM
Vegan sloppy joes are my go-to recipe for any cookout or lazy evening, they’re ready in no time and a summer-time classic!
These have lots of smoky and sweet flavor from a yummy combination of smoked paprika, tomatoes and coconut sugar, with a bit of soy sauce for some added flavor.
They are so perfect anytime of year though, even though they’re usually associated with warm cookouts, I find them to be a great comfort food on cold nights too!
The lentils are the star of the show here, and make for a super high-protein meal to fill you up.
They are the perfect vegetarian or meatless Monday meal prep idea – all of the ingredients can be kept in dry storage for some time, so it’s great to keep them on hand for when you want to make this.
