Hi friends!
A heavily requested post today! Vegan dinners that can be made in under a half hour… because let’s be real, sometimes we don’t have the time or simply the energy to do anything beyond that. I have to say that a lot of the recipes I share on here are usually under the 30-minute mark because I also don’t have the time to do anything elaborate. I aim for quick, healthy, filling, and delicious enough for two toddlers to approve.
If you are like me, then maybe the below will appeal to you. These recipes are some of our go-tos because they are that easy. I hope that you enjoy. x
#1: Lemon Chickpea Pasta
Seriously one of my favorite meals ever. The lemon works so well the the chickpeas. This is my kind of comfort food and it pulls together so quickly.
#2: Fast & Cheap Pad Thai
This is not traditional pad thai AT ALL. But it gets the job done and tastes great in a pinch.
#3: Potato, Chickpea, and Pea Curry
A hearty and filling curry that pairs well with your choice of grain.
#4: Pesto Tortilla Pizza
Tortilla pizzas are a family favorite and are so quick! You can get fancy on whatever toppings you like but the above is my favorite.
#5: Ranch, Black Bean, and Corn Tacos
Taco nights are the best nights and these are wonderful. The ranch works so well with the black beans.
#6: Walnut Pesto Pasta
Pro tip: Make a huge batch of this pesto recipe and freeze for later for quick meals in the future.
#7: Vegan Shepherd’s Pie
You can make this extra quick by layering up instant mashed potatoes, frozen veggies, and Gardein crumbles. You could also make your own mashed potatoes, but that is entirely up to you! Layer up and bake at 400 F for about 25 minutes. Just remember to season your veggies fast with some onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
#8: Loaded Vegan Nachos
Nachos are simple but are satisfying for the whole family. The above is our favorite way to enjoy them. The full recipe for these is featured in my e-book!
#9: Tempeh and Peppers
You can enjoy tempeh and peppers in a bulky roll, over rice, with pasta, or with a baked potato. So many possibilities.
#10: Cream of Mushroom Pasta
This tastes like a lot went into it, but really… it takes under 30 minutes. A must make!
I’m going to have try the walnut pesto penne and potato chickpea curry! I am always on the go, but it would be nice to have a home cooked meal once in awhile.
