Salad · 35 minRoasted Sweet Potato & Chickpea Salad
Crisp-edged sweet potato, chickpeas, and peppery greens make a filling lunch. A lemon-tahini dressing brings it together without weighing it down.
Vegetables at the center
Creamy pasta, roasted chickpeas, and a mushroom-rich side worth making room for.
Build dinner around more than a missing meat ingredient. Chickpeas add substance to a salad, spinach folds into a silky pasta sauce, and browned mushrooms make green beans feel special. Check cheese labels if you avoid animal rennet, and use vegetable broth in the casserole.
Make it easier: For a satisfying plate, combine a vegetable dish with beans, grains, or another protein you enjoy.
What to cook
Salad · 35 min
Pasta · 20 minCreamy Garlic Pasta with Spinach
A little starchy pasta water turns cream and garlic into a silky sauce. Spinach wilts right into the pan, so there is no separate vegetable pot to clean.
Side · 45 minGreen Bean Casserole with Mushroom Sauce
Tender-crisp beans meet a quick mushroom cream sauce and a crunchy onion topping. Fresh mushrooms give this familiar side a deeper, savory flavor.
