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.
To cut down on prep time, look for precut cauliflower in the produce department.

Serve with whole-wheat naan to sop it all up.
Falafel Burgers
Pureed chickpeas, seasoned with the characteristic flavors of falafel, make excellent veggie burgers.
Eggs are the base of the creamy sauce.

They don’t get fully cooked, so use pasteurized-in-the-shell eggs if you prefer.
To keep them vegan, top them with shredded cabbage, fresh pico de gallo and guacamole.
For vegetarians, add crumbled queso fresco.

Look for presliced mushrooms to cut prep time.
Serve with a tossed salad.
Four-Bean & Pumpkin Chili
This healthy vegetarian chili has a fragrant touch of cinnamon for added flavor.

Let diners top it with whatever suits their taste.
They are so tasty no one will miss the meat or dairy.
Here, the richness of tahini tempers the spicy chile paste in this cup-of-noodles-style mason jar soup recipe.

Mix it up with different flavors of hummus and different types of vegetables depending on your mood.
But we prefer to keep things classic and simple with hummus, quinoa, avocado and loads of veggies!
Use a soup with tomato pieces for a heartier texture.
Look for a brand that’s low- or reduced-sodium, with no more than 450 mg sodium per serving.
Curried Chickpea Stew
Who says a meatless meal isn’t filling?
Packed with fiber-rich vegetables and chickpeas, this fragrant stew satisfies.
Serve them on buns or stuff them in pitas.
