Explore CuisineSavvy recipes and articles tagged Glutenfree.
This collection brings together CuisineSavvy recipes explicitly tagged Glutenfree. It is a focused way to explore the catalogue without scrolling through every plant-based recipe on the site. Tags describe the recipe as published; they are not inferred from a title or from a search phrase. That makes the recipes here a more dependable match for the topic, while still leaving room for different cuisines, courses, cooking methods and levels of complexity.
Use the filter below to narrow these glutenfree recipes by an ingredient, dish or cooking style, then sort the complete set by newest, oldest or HealthScore. Each recipe links to its full ingredients, method, declared allergens and nutrition panel, so you can compare the details that matter to you rather than relying on a label alone. Nutrition needs vary from person to person; where a category relates to a medical condition or prescribed diet, use the recipe data as a starting point and follow advice from your qualified healthcare professional.

Crispy, golden panisse-style chickpea fries — naturally vegan and gluten-free — finished on the barbecue for smoky char and brushed with a clear, fragrant lemongrass-maple marinade. The secret is two-stage cooking: a pan-fry builds the crust that lets them hold on the grate, and the light marinade goes on at the grill, not before. Plan ahead — the base needs at least 2 hours in the fridge (overnight is better) before it can be cut and cooked.

A bold, plant-based adaptation of Mediterranean grilled whole branzino. Extra-firm tofu is pressed, soaked in a kelp-and-sea-salt brine for genuine marine depth, then wrapped in nori — which crisps and chars on the grill exactly as fish skin does — and grilled over high heat until golden. The vibrant tomato-caper salsa, bright with Kalamata olives, balsamic, and fresh parsley, is kept exactly as in the original. Aromatic lemon slices, rosemary, and flat-leaf parsley frame the slabs on the grate. Fully vegan; no flavour compromises.

A fully plant-based, gluten-free riff on Gran Luchito's chipotle BBQ pork ribs. King oyster mushrooms, halved lengthways, stand in for the rib shape and hold up beautifully to the grill, while torn oyster, shiitake and chestnut mushrooms add texture and earthy depth. The original two-stage method is preserved — braise first so the mushrooms absorb all that smoky, spiced liquid, then finish over high heat with the chipotle sauce brushed on — because that is precisely what makes the dish. Three common gluten traps in the original (dark beer, Worcestershire sauce and taco seasoning) have each been addressed with named substitutes, with the reasoning called out in the method so a coeliac cook never has to guess.

A fully plant-based take on Joshua Weissman's classic tamales. Smoky ancho and guajillo chillies are rehydrated in warm vegetable broth, then blended with garlic and cumin into a vibrant red sauce that flavours both the black bean filling and the table. The masa is built the right way — vegetable shortening whipped until light and airy before the masa harina and broth are folded in — so every tamale steams up tender and fluffy, never dense. Wrapped in softened corn husks and steamed until firm, these are weeknight-friendly in effort but serious in flavour.
HealthScore 75
A hearty, one-pot vegan chilli that swaps every animal product for bold plant-based flavours.

Fresh jalapeños and cilantro finish the dish with brightness and heat. 100% vegan, totally satisfying, and packed with flavor from every angle.
