Father’s Day only comes once a year, so we put together a full day of plant-based eating to make it count. Whether Dad is a brunch enthusiast, a snack-first kind of person, or a cookout king, we’ve got a plant-based spread to match. Here’s how to feed Dad well this Father’s Day.

Fire up the grill

Nothing says Father’s Day like a cookout. Smoky chorizo burgers, plant-based sausages, a kale and quinoa salad, and a cold glass of homemade peach tea. This is the cookout menu Dad deserves. Cap it off with an apple and blackberry crumble for dessert.
