Best Gluten-Free Dinner Recipes for 2024

Gluten-free diets have exploded in popularity and the world of recipe development is much better for it. Just over a decade ago, amazing gluten-free dinner recipes were few and far between – but now, there are gluten-free cookbooks bursting off bookstore shelves, a variety of gluten-free products on the market (some healthier than others, mind you) and a worldwide horde of home cooks who are exploring the joys of gluten-free cooking from scratch on incredibly inspired blogs.

We’ve combed the internet, and our dining tables, to bring you our picks for the best 30 gluten-free dinner recipes. We looked at easy prep, availability of ingredients, and diversity in flavour and textures to give you weeks of dinner inspiration. We also wanted to ensure that with these meals, you won’t even notice anything is missing.

Everything we do here at the school, including our certification program, is all gluten-free. We know that not everyone in the world is gluten-sensitive, but there is a high number of people dealing with inflammatory issues, immune conditions, allergies and digestive problems who are. Eliminating gluten might just alleviate a little of that suffering.

To offer you some inspiration, we’ve compiled our 30 Best Gluten-Free Dinner Recipes.
