Cheesy Marinara Beans
This ooey-gooey dish has baked pasta vibes but features protein-packed beans instead of noodles.

Look for dried corona beans, a larger, creamy white bean, at natural foods stores or online.
Cannellini beans are a good substitute.
Serve with a green salad and toasted baguette.

Cauliflower Fajita Skillet
Thinly sliced cauliflower florets mimic the signature shape of fajita meat in this dish.
We cook it in a cast-iron skillet for that tableside sizzle you’d get at a restaurant.
The ground nuts mimic the texture of meat quite nicely.

Chili powder, cumin and garlic provide classic chili flavor.
Egg-in-a-Hole Fried Quinoa
We used quinoa to bump up the fiber and protein in this stir-fry-inspired dish.
Opt for a flat skillet over a wok so you have plenty of room to nestle in the eggs.
Falafel Burgers
Pureed chickpeas, seasoned with the characteristic flavors of falafel, make excellent veggie burgers.
Garnish the burgers with tzatziki or tahini sauce, pickled red onions, lettuce and tomatoes.
The layers of butternut squash give the dish a sweet and creamy flavor and texture.
