Vegan Poutine Recipe
My vegan poutine recipe turn crispy French fries, savory vegan gravy, and gooey dairy-free cheese curds into the ultimate plant-based comfort food. I love how the hot gravy softens some of the fries while the edges stay crisp underneath all the toppings. It takes just 1 hour to get this cozy Canadian-inspired dish on my table, much to the delight of my family.

Notes
- My #1 Secret Tip for this vegan poutine recipe is to bake the fries slightly longer than usual, so they stay crisp once the hot gravy gets added on top. I love the texture of extra crispy fries once the sauce starts soaking into them.
- Warm the plates: I use warm serving bowls to help keep the gravy hot longer and stop the fries from cooling too quickly.
- Keep gravy thick: Thin gravy soaks into the fries too quickly, or pools at the bottom of the bowl. I prefer a gravy that slowly drizzles instead of pouring like soup.
- Add cheese last: I always add the cheese curds after the gravy so the warmth softens them slightly without completely melting them away.
- Serve immediately: The appeal in this dish is the textures, and the textures are best served hot. Which is why I serve this vegan poutine immediately.
