Pro Tips for the Perfect Plant-Based Roast

  • Match the roast to your vibe: Want a traditional turkey-style centerpiece? Go with the Vegetarian Plus Whole Vegan Turkey. Looking for something a little unexpected? Try the Ham Style Roast or Hazelnut & Cranberry Roast.
  • Plan your portions: Consider how many guests youโ€™ll have โ€” some roasts serve more people, so size matters.
  • Prep ahead: Most roasts need thawing before cooking. Give yourself enough time so the main course isnโ€™t a last-minute scramble.
  • Glaze & gravy magic: Basting your roast or pairing it with a rich gravy elevates flavor and keeps it tender. Donโ€™t forget: the ham glaze is the star!
  • Leftover love: Roasts like the Hazelnut & Cranberry or Tofurky Roast make excellent sandwiches or wraps the next day โ€” maximize your feast!
