When you think of slow cooker dinners, you might not immediately think “vegetarian.” After all, the slow cooker is known for the magic it does to turn almost any run-of-the-mill cut of meat into tender, fall-apart deliciousness.
But fear not herbivores! You too can rock the crock pot. The slow cooker is just as amazing for meatless meals! In fact, I’d say that some of the vegetarian slow cooker recipes are oftentimes more inventive and fun than just tossing a pork roast in to cook.
I asked some of my blogging friends to send me their favorite vegetarian slow cooker dinner recipes for me to share with you guys. There are some amazing dishes in here that will be perfect for vegetarians and flexitarians alike. I know I’ll be whipping a few of these beauties up in my own slow cooker this fall and winter. Happy slow cooking!

I quit eating all land animals (still eat fish, sometimes) a few months ago so I’m always on the lookout for vegetarian recipes to try. This is a great collection of vegetarian slow cooker recipes! 🙂
I love this post. I just bought a bunch of jackfruit to try the one crockpot recipe for a vegan version of pulled pork! Can’t wait to try something new. Thanks!

Red Beans and rice looks delicious. Love veg foods..
Such a great idea for a round up! I will totally be coming back to this!
That sweet potato soup is calling my name! Saw you are from IN, my husband is originally from Fort Wayne! 😉
I bet my two carnivores would never miss the mat in these amazing dishes!
What a great and useful roundup! That Bulgogi Jackfruit looks so real, wow! I’ve heard of jackfruit but have never tried it, will need to. All of these recipes look so good!
I am totally going to pull out my slow cooker and keep my pot roasts in the freezer next week!
I can’t believe those jackfruit sandwiches are vegan! They look just like pulled pork.
I love a good slow cooker meal and will definitely be pinning this for later!
I know, right? I’m definitely going to have to try that!
