veganize
Make plant-based
To veganize is to adapt a recipe, dish, or food product to contain no animal ingredients—replacing meat, dairy, eggs, and honey with plant-based alternatives: I veganized my grandmother's lasagna using cashew ricotta.
The term extends beyond cooking to making any product or practice vegan-friendly: They veganized their entire skincare line.
