Looking for some healthy and quick gluten-free meal options? Look no further than these 25 Gluten-Free Dinner Recipes ready in under 30 minutes. With meat, seafood and veggie options, there’s gluten-free dinner ideas for everyone!
One of the things I love most about writing a food blog is hearing from you guys, my lovely readers! Reading your comments, seeing your Instagram pics of a THM recipe you made or hearing that you successfully fooled you family into eating black bean brownies genuinely warms my heart. I have no idea how I got so lucky!
When people hear that I am gluten-free and only post gluten-free recipes I almost always get a comment on the lines of “I’m gluten-free too!” or “my daughter/nephew/cousin/dog-walker is gluten-free too!” Though I don’t exclusively eat gluten-free (anymore) we must.stick.together. But for real, it’s nice to know that I can help out gluten-free folks even in the tiniest way.
Gluten-Free Dinner in 30 Minutes – Or Less!
I understand how tough it can be to go from the luxuries of living at home or being fed by campus dining to all of a sudden having to figure out how to feed yourself. Okay, that’s a lie. I’ve always had an obsession with the kitchen and subsequently I did not experience this type of panic, but I’ve witnessed many an Annie’s Mac and Cheese dinner to know this is a very real life experience.
I also suspect that some of you have found yourself hosting a dinner in which an invitee has given you a heads up that he or she eats gluten-free. Try not to freak out. It’s gonna be okay!
Instead of serving up lettuce to your guests for fear of glutening them, I thought I would round-up some of the best and QUICK (i.e. 30 minutes or less!) gluten-free dinners from across the internet. You may see some familiar faces and I may have shamelessly included some of my own recipes. Some are a one-pot shop but for those stand-alone recipes, feel free to mix and match sides. Regardless, they’re all delicious and make a perfect dinner whether you are feeding your struggling post-grad self or invited Gwyneth Paltrow and her gluten-free entourage for a feast.

Brilliant post Davida thank you! I am pretty much gluten free now – it is helping immensely with my tummy! I have, however been eating it once in a while… Like on holiday – fresh bread, made that morning by Betty the Grandmother of a farm down the road, is gonna be hard to turn down 😉
This is the best list I’m so excited to cook through these!! Do you know what I realized? I just like the texture of gluten free things better… aka baked goods with gluten free flour, brown rice wraps, sprouted grain english muffins… Speaking of which, I still need to make yours! xoxo
I REALLY want to grill pineapple tonight. Luckily, I have whole pineapple on my counter waiting to be eaten. So many great suggestions! Love it!
What an awesome idea! I’m not gluten free, but how helpful is it to have all of these recipes together?? I have had to cook for people with various dietary restrictions, and I definitely freaked out and started trying to read and research every ingredient. I always feel terrible when I go to social events and someone basically can’t eat anything, and I’d hate to ever have anyone over and make them feel that way. I’m filing this resource away for the next time I need it!
The other day, I somehow mislead Lauren and I off a path and we were legit climbing straight up a mountain through bushes, trees, etc. After we realized we were idiots, my first question was, “Was that Paleo?” I was all dirty and covered in sap, so… was it?
I don’t even know what’s happening right now. Okay, so that awesome looking bowl with the grilled pineapple needs to be my dinner tonight. I’m on a major grilling kick right now but I’m scared to turn the BBQ on. 🙁
I cant wait to make all of these!
What a great round-up! Lots of goodies to check out!
Great list! That sriracha chicken salad is calling my name! I’m not gluten-free, or anything-free really, but I still love recipes that incorporate wholesome ingredients. These are all fabulous!
I seriously need this! I am the worst at thinking of easy and quick, healthy meals! Thanks so much for including my Mojito Chicken Quinoa Bowl! Pinned!
Is butter gluten free?
I tend to naturally eat gluten free and recently, been trying out more gluten free foods and actually enjoying them. Saying that, gluten free products here are generally crap. CRAP.
Yes.
