5 HEALTHY VEGAN RECIPES TO CONSUME

1. Loaded Lentil Nachos

PREP-TIME: 30 MINUTES / READY IN: 50 MINUTES

Smoky lentils take the place of meat and a savory potato-based “cheese” sauce elevates home-baked corn chips to a whole new level. Piled high with fresh pico de gallo salsa, these vegan nachos are a great shareable appetizer—or if you’re extra hungry, enjoy them all by yourself!

2. Crispy Potato Vegan Cheese Sticks

PREP-TIME: 20 MINUTES

These delectable, melty “cheese” sticks replace traditional mozzarella with an unbelievably good concoction of potatoes, nutritional yeast, and spices. Coated in crunchy breadcrumbs and baked to perfection, we recommend dunking these cheesy sticks in some fresh marinara sauce and calling it a day.

3. Black Bean and Sweet Potato Quesadillas

PREP TIME: 40 MINUTES

These hearty quesadillas are filled with spicy sweet potatoes, black beans and melted cheese. Serve them with creamy avocado dip to really take them over the top, so don’t skip it! These are a great appetizer or busy weeknight dinner.

4. Sweet Potato and Shiitake Mushroom Dumplings

PREP TIME: 30 MINUTES

These dumplings are worthy of special occasions but so scrumptious you’ll want to eat them on the daily. Handily, you can assemble these dumplings ahead of time and store them in the freezer for up to a month, so you always have some ready to enjoy. Simply add them to a pot of boiling water and let cook until they float to the pop.

5. Lentil, Chard & Sweet Potato Curry

PREP TIME: 20 MINUTES

You don’t need ghee or oil to create a rich Indian curry dish. Let the heady aromas of Indian spices fill your whole house as it simmers, then thicken it up with vegan yogurt for a savory, creamy end result. Overflowing with nutrient-rich veggies and lentils, this is an excellent meal to add to your regular recipe rotation.
