6. Smoky Sweet Potato Bisque 

You don’t need cream to make a rich and creamy bisque — in fact, this dairy-free version of Sweet Potato Bisque doesn’t even include coconut cream.

Serve with a dollop of cool coconut sour cream and crackers for dipping.

7. Spicy Sweetcorn and Onion Fritters

These crispy Spicy Sweetcorn and Onion Fritters are the perfect lunch! Typically, fritters are a batter deep-fried with bread crumbs, but this recipe gives you all the flavors without the deep-frying! Sweetcorn, coriander, and onion are mixed together into a batter and the center of each fritter has an onion ring that is not only delicious, but it also keeps the fritters together while they cook. Chili flakes give these a little kick while the dairy-free yogurt sauce balances it all out.
