Black rice creates a dramatic backdrop for colorful pops of produce in this delightful grain-forward salad. Antioxidant-rich beets are roasted in the oven until tender and sweet, then piled onto the bed of rice alongside juicy orange segments and crunchy green apple. A creamy garlic and mustard dressing ties everything together, uniting the sweet and earthy flavors for a wholesome meal that looks just as good as it tastes. To air-fry the beets instead of baking them, preheat an  air fryer to 400°F. Season beets with salt and pepper. Air-fry for 18 to 20 minutes or until tender and the edges are lightly browned, stirring once or twice.

Tip: To make orange supremes, slice off the top and bottom of the orange. Place orange flat side down on a cutting board. Slice off the skin and bitter white pith from top to bottom. Holding the orange over a bowl, slide a knife between a section and membrane. At the core, turn the knife and cut between the other side of the section and the membrane. The supreme will drop into the bowl. Repeat to remove all supremes.

These delightful vegan Korean BBQ bowls expertly bring together different flavors, colors, and textures to create an incredible meal. It all starts with a base of warm brown rice that’s piled high with spiralized veggies, hearty red beans, and blistered shishito peppers. The familiar flavors of brown rice vinegar, scallions, and tamari infuse everything with a Korean-inspired profile while a homemade barbecue sauce delivers dollops of powerful spicy-sweetness in every bite. Crunchy sesame seeds create a delicious garnish for a balanced plant-powered meal. Not a fan of heat? Don’t worry about taking the seeds out of the shishito chiles; only 1 in 10 peppers is hot.

Yield: Makes 4 bowls
  • 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 cup long-grain brown rice

Celeriac has a meaty texture and neutral flavor, which makes it ideal for cutting into steaks that absorb your favorite seasonings. In this recipe, the steaks are brushed in lime juice and sprinkled with savory Southwest spices for a plant-based carne asada plate. Each perfectly golden medallion is laid on a bed of hearty quinoa that’s studded with beans, red onion, and jalapeño to create the perfect blend of Tex-Mex ingredients. Orange does double duty in this satisfying recipe: First, by infusing the entire dish with a citrus vinaigrette, and second by topping the quinoa base with juicy slices to contrast the medley of spicy flavors traditional carne asada is known for. Top each serving with fresh cilantro and a dash of hot sauce if you like extra heat!

For more veggie steak dinners, check out these tasty ideas:

Yield: Makes 4 plates

  • 1 fresh jalapeño chile, seeded and thinly sliced
  • 1 celeriac root, peeled and cut into four or five ¾- to 1-inch steaks

  • ½ teaspoon salt-free Southwest seasoning blend
  • ½ cup orange juice
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ⅛ teaspoon sea salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare quinoa according to package directions; let cool. Stir in beans, orange slices, onion, cilantro, and jalapeño.
  2. Meanwhile, mix together 1 tablespoon lime juice with 1 tablespoon water. Brush celeriac steaks with lime mixture and sprinkle steaks with Southwest seasoning. Grill, covered, over medium heat 8 to 10 minutes or until tender and browned, turning once.
  3. For Orange Vinaigrette, in a small bowl whisk together orange juice, the remaining 2 tablespoons lime juice, the Dijon mustard, garlic, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Arrange quinoa and steaks on plates. Drizzle with Orange Vinaigrette.

In this tantalizing fusion recipe, creamy Italian polenta meets the spicy-savory flavors of Mexican cuisine to create a truly drool-worthy dish. Roma tomatoes (which are perfect to use in sauces due to their meaty flesh and lack of seeds) are stewed with corn, black beans, bell pepper, and plenty of Southwestern spices to create the perfect Tex-Mex sauce. Chopped jalapeño infuses everything with a kick of heat that seeps into the velvety polenta grains and leaves you licking the bowl. Beyond polenta, try spooning this yummy sauce over baked sweet potatoes, pasta, or other cooked grains to transform a basic meal into something special.

Tip: To peel tomatoes, bring a large pot of water to boiling. Lightly cut a small X in one end of each tomato. Add tomatoes to boiling water a few at a time. After 30 seconds, use a slotted spoon to transfer tomatoes to a bowl of ice water; let cool 2 minutes. Remove from ice water and use a paring knife to peel off skins.

For more vegan polenta recipes, check out these tasty ideas:

Yield: Makes 6 cups sauce + 6 cups polenta
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 cup chopped green bell pepper
  • 1 to 2 fresh jalapeño chiles, seeded and finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 lb. roma tomatoes, peeled, cored, and quartered (see intro for tip)
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 15-oz. can no-salt-added black beans, rinsed and drained (1½ cups)
  • 2 ears fresh sweet corn, cut off the cob (1 cup kernels)
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 2 cups quick-cooking polenta
  • 2 tablespoons chopped unsalted roasted pepitas
  • Chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. In a large pot cook onion, bell pepper, jalapeño, and garlic over medium 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally and adding water, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, as needed to prevent sticking. Add tomatoes, cumin, paprika, coriander, and ¼ cup water. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 20 to 25 minutes or until tomatoes are very soft.
  2. Stir in black beans and corn. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cook, uncovered, 4 to 5 minutes or until corn is crisp-tender and mixture is heated through. Season with salt and black pepper.
  3. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan bring vegetable broth and 3 cups water to boiling. Slowly whisk in polenta. Stir constantly 5 minutes or until polenta is tender. Serve sauce over polenta. Top with pepitas and cilantro.

Every bite of this Mediterranean medley is packed full of succulent produce and savory flavors that transport you straight to the Italian coast. Each serving starts with a base of creamy polenta that’s drizzled in a tangy roasted red pepper and balsamic sauce before being piled high with a summer squash and pepper hash. It’s worth seeking out Italian frying peppers at the farmers market for their distinct flavor, but they vary greatly in their level of heat, so be sure to ask the vendor about the ones you buy. Chewy chickpeas complement the produce by adding extra substance, while Castelvetrano olives infuse the veggies with their briney bite for a truly delicious meal. Lemon zest and fresh herbs tie everything together in this trattoria-worthy recipe.

Tip: Some names for Italian frying peppers are Cubanelles, Italianelles, or Italian long peppers. Anaheim, banana peppers, and small red bell peppers are good substitutes if you can’t find any.

For more creative polenta recipes, check out these tasty ideas:

Yield: Makes 8 cups hash + 3 cups polenta
  • 1 7-oz. jar roasted red bell peppers, drained
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1½ cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 cup dry polenta
  • 6 cups cut up summer squash mix (zucchini, yellow, and pattypan)
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2 Italian frying peppers, halved, seeded, and chopped (2 cups, see intro for tip)
  • 12 Castelvetrano olives, crushed (⅓ cup)
  • 2 15-oz. cans no-salt-added chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained (3 cups)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • ½ cup chopped fresh basil, oregano, and/or flat-leaf parsley
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a small food processor combine roasted red peppers and balsamic vinegar. Process until smooth.
  2. In a large saucepan combine broth and 2½ cups water. Bring to boiling. Gradually whisk in polenta. Reduce heat. Cook, uncovered, about 20 minutes or until thickened and creamy, stirring occasionally.
  3. Meanwhile, in an extra-large skillet combine the next four ingredients (through olives). Cook over medium about 10 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally and adding water, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, as needed to prevent sticking. Stir in chickpeas, garlic, and lemon zest. Cook and stir 2 minutes or until heated through. Stir in fresh herbs, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Spoon polenta onto plates. Spoon roasted pepper sauce over polenta. Top with vegetable mixture.

This plant-based take on a comfort-food favorite skips the oil without skimping on flavor. Start by pressing a block of tofu to remove excess moisture, and then marinate it in an easy ginger-garlic sauce that packs in tons of savory flavor. Crisping up the tofu cubes in a skillet creates a delicious, firm texture that you can really sink your teeth into and pairs perfectly with the tender veggies. While you have creative license to add whatever fresh produce your heart desires, the classic homestyle combo of frozen peas and carrots will never fail to delight your taste buds. Mix everything into cooked brown jasmine rice, and stir in the excess tofu marinade to blend all the elements together. Enjoy this dish on its own or add some sautéed Chinese greens on the side for a veggie-fueled feast.

For more vegan Chinese recipes, check out these tasty ideas:

Yield: Makes 8 to 9 cups
  • 1 12-oz. package firm or extra-firm tofu, drained
  • 2 tablespoons brown rice vinegar
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric (for color)
  • 2 cups dry brown jasmine rice, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup thinly sliced scallions
  • 1 cup frozen green peas and carrots mix, thawed

Instructions

  1. Place tofu between paper towels; add a weight on top and press 15 minutes. Slice tofu crosswise into ¼-inch-thick slabs.
  2. For marinade, in a shallow container whisk together the next five ingredients (through turmeric) and ¼ cup water. Place tofu in marinade, turning to coat; let stand 20 minutes. Reserve marinade. Meanwhile, cook rice according to package directions.
  3. Heat an extra-large nonstick skillet over high. Place tofu in a single layer in hot skillet. Cook 4 to 5 minutes per side or until lightly browned. Transfer tofu to a cutting board and let cool. Finely chop.
  4. Add tofu, scallions, peas and carrots, and reserved marinade to the cooked rice; mix well. Heat through over medium, stirring occasionally. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve warm.

Garlicky, herbal, and piled high with freshly grilled veggies, this delightful quinoa pilaf is a summer BBQ recipe for the books. Aromatic mint and dill deliver oodles of fresh flavor to the chewy grains, while nutrient-dense spinach adds an extra dose of fiber to the medley. While the pilaf base simmers, you can get to work on basting fresh produce with a lemon-paprika marinade before sizzling them on a grill pan. The key to delicious, smoky char marks is to let the veggies cook undisturbed on each side for several minutes at a time. You might have to cook the veggies in a few batches depending on the size of your pan, so be sure to start with the densest ingredients first, since those will take the longest and won’t cool down as quickly as the lighter veggies. Finish this healthy dish with a squeeze of lemon juice right before serving, and dig in!

For more healthy quinoa recipes, check out these tasty ideas:

Yield: Makes 4½ cups pilaf + 3 cups vegetables
  • 2 cups + 1 tablespoon low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1½ cups dry quinoa, rinsed and drained
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups fresh baby spinach, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • Sea salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 8 oz. fresh asparagus, trimmed
  • 1 cup fresh sugar snap peas
  • 1 medium kohlrabi, cut into wedges (1 cup)
  • 4 scallions, trimmed
  • 6 radishes, halved
  • Lemon wedges

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°F. In a medium saucepan combine 2 cups of the broth, the quinoa, garlic, and 1 cup water. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 15 to 20 minutes or until quinoa is tender. Remove from heat. Stir in spinach, mint, and dill; let stand 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. In a small bowl stir together the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable broth, the lemon juice, and paprika.
  3. Meanwhile, preheat a grill pan over medium-high. Grill asparagus, sugar snap peas, kohlrabi, scallions, and radishes 8 to 10 minutes or until crisp-tender, turning and brushing with lemon juice mixture once or twice. (If necessary, grill in batches and keep warm on a foil-covered baking sheet in a 200°F oven while grilling the remaining vegetables.)
  4. Serve grilled vegetables over quinoa. Serve with lemon wedges and top with additional fresh herbs.

We know beets can be a controversial ingredient: Some say they taste like dirt; others say they’re nature’s candy. No matter where you stand on the spectrum, these roasted beet and broccoli bowls are a delicious way to enjoy the hearty root vegetable. To start, roast some multicolored beets in tin foil packets so they get deliciously tender without becoming charred or losing their moisture. Next, add some vibrant steamed broccoli to the mix and toss everything with a citrus-thyme dressing to complement the earthy flavors. The finishing touch involves spooning the veggies over a bed of quinoa (or any other whole grain of choice) and topping everything with creamy avocado slices. Now all that’s left to do is dig into this garden feast with glee!

For more amazing vegan beet recipes, check out these tasty ideas:

Yield: Makes 4 bowls
  • 4 medium red and/or yellow beets, peeled and cut into ½-inch pieces
  • ¼ cup white wine vinegar
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 cups small broccoli florets
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • ½ cup orange juice
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme
  • 4 cups cooked quinoa
  • ½ of a small avocado, halved, pitted, peeled, and sliced

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Keep beet colors separate for roasting. Cut four 12-inch pieces of foil. In a medium bowl toss yellow beets with 1 tablespoon of the vinegar and ⅛ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Transfer beets to one piece of foil; top with second piece of foil and fold edges together to create a packet. Repeat with red beets, placing them in a separate packet. (If using one color of beet, cut two 24-inch pieces of foil.) Place packets on a baking sheet. Roast 50 to 60 minutes or until very tender. Remove from oven; cool on a wire rack about 15 minutes. Chill beets until ready to serve.
  2. Meanwhile, place broccoli in a steamer basket in a large saucepan. Add water to saucepan to just below basket. Bring to boiling. Steam, covered, 5 to 8 minutes or until tender. Chill until ready to serve.
  3. For dressing, in a large bowl whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons vinegar, the orange zest, orange juice, thyme, and additional salt and pepper to taste. Add chilled roasted beets and broccoli. Toss to combine.
  4. To assemble bowls, divide cooked quinoa among 4 bowls. Spoon broccoli mixture over quinoa. Drizzle any leftover dressing over top. Garnish with avocado slices.

Broccolini, red bell pepper, bok choy, and spiralized sweet potatoes are marinated in a savory miso-ginger sauce and grilled to char-marked perfection for this wholesome grain bowl recipe. The colorful veggies get an extra punch of flavor from zesty lime juice and spicy red pepper flakes, while the remaining marinade is soaked up by the chewy grains of farro. If farro isn’t your favorite, feel free to swap it out for another whole grain such as quinoa or millet. Sliced raw radishes make a crunchy topping that balances the bold flavors with a refreshing peppery note. (If you don’t have radishes on hand, thinly sliced scallions would also make for a palate-pleasing garnish.) Chow down on this nourishing dish whenever you’re ready to zhuzh up your produce!

Tip: If using an indoor grill pan, you’ll have to grill the vegetables in batches. Keep them warm on a foil-covered baking sheet in a 200°F oven as you go.

  • 1 lb. turnips, peeled and finely shredded (3 cups)
  • 1 10-oz. sweet potato, peeled and finely shredded (2¼ cups)
  • ¼ cup chopped scallions
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 cups cooked tricolor or red quinoa
  • ½ cup sliced almonds, toasted
  • ½ cup golden raisins
  • 12 butter lettuce leaves
  • ½ of a 14-oz. package silken tofu
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon coarse mustard
  • 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Place mushrooms in a small bowl; add boiling water to cover. Let stand 10 minutes; drain. Finely chop mushrooms.
  2. In a large bowl combine flaxseed meal and 6 tablespoons of water. Let stand 5 minutes.
  3. Wrap turnips in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as you can. Repeat with sweet potato.
  4. Add mushrooms, turnips, sweet potato, scallions, ¾ of the minced garlic (about 3 tsp.), and salt to the flaxseed mixture; mix well. Form into eight ½-inch-thick patties using ½ cup mixture per patty.
  5. In an extra-large nonstick skillet cook patties over medium 4 to 6 minutes or until golden and heated through, turning once.
  6. For Tofu Remoulade, in a blender or food processor combine tofu, lemon juice, mustard, horseradish, paprika, hot pepper sauce, and the remaining garlic. Cover and blend until smooth. Stir in fresh parsley.
  7. In a medium bowl stir together quinoa, almonds, and raisins. Arrange lettuce and quinoa on plates. Top with patties. Spread Tofu Remoulade on patties.
