This Miso Greens Soup by Katie Koteenis a necessity during the holiday season—the perfect soothing meals for days you don’t feel like eating heavy foods. Added bonus: It’s ridiculously quick and easy to make. Keep in mind that boiling miso kills all the good digestive helpers it contains. For this reason, this soup doesn’t reheat that well, but the recipe halves easily if you want to avoid any waste.

11. Tofu Sheet Pan Meal With “Cheezy” Miso Tahini Sauce
Source: Tofu Sheet Pan Meal With “Cheezy” Miso Tahini Sauce
Simple one-pan vegan meal with tofu, vegetables, and “cheezy” no-cheese miso tahini sauce. Serve over quinoa or by itself for an easy and filling weeknight dinner. Usually, one-pan vegan meals call for chickpea, veggies, and seasonings. This one, however, incorporates cubed tofu as a source of protein. The tofu browns beautifully alongside the veggies here for a protein-packed entree that’s ideal for meal prep and busy weeknight dinners. A simple dried rosemary and thyme blend keeps things cozy, fragrant, and perfectly seasoned. The trick to achieving even baking with all of the different vegetables and textures in this meal is to spread the contents between two baking sheets. Serve the roasted veggies over quinoa for even more protein or by itself for a full meal. Don’t forget the optional drizzle of “cheezy” miso tahini sauce! It’s the cherry on top of this one-pan vegan meal! You have to try this Tofu Sheet Pan Meal With “Cheezy” Miso Tahini Sauce by Lauren Kirchmaier!
12. Heart-Healthy Burger

Store-bought veggie burgers are convenient, but they are not as wholesome as the ones you can make at home. Not all packaged veggie burgers are made the same. Some contain a long list of ingredients, many of which are unrecognizable — a sign that the product is highly processed. Hearty, satisfying, and flavor-packed, this homemade Heart-Healthy Burger by Julie Zimmer, whether cooked on the grill or in a frying pan, can hold its shape. Crispy on the outside, soft and textured on the inside, the black beluga lentils give the patty that grainy texture.
13. Bomb Sauce

Instead of ketchup. Better than barbecue sauce. To give a boost to marinara. For dipping french fries or tots. To dress up a sandwich. As a glaze for tofu or grilled portobello mushrooms. To dunk tortilla chips. To make the BEST tempeh sloppy joes. As you can see, this umami-loaded Bomb Sauce by Umami Bomb, Raquel Pelzelgoes with everything. Be sure to read the label on your Worcestershire sauce to make sure it doesn’t contain anchovies!
