Make rice how you normally would, but add in a splash of olive oil and a teaspoon each of garlic powder and turmeric. Place chopped cauliflower, broccoli, and sweet potato in a large bowl and drizzle with ½ cup olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to cover the vegetables evenly.

Turn oven to broil, line a baking sheet with foil, and spread spiced vegetables on baking sheet. Place sheet in over for 15—20 minutes, flipping veggies once in the middle. Make the tahini dressing: Combine tahini, lemon juice, two tablespoons of olive oil, water, teaspoon of garlic powder and stir well.

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Poach an egg: bring a medium pot of water to a slight boil, then dump in white vinegar and lightly stir.

Crack egg into a small bowl, being careful to not break the yolk, and then gently pour egg from bowl into hot water.

Wait 90— second, then remove egg with slotted spoon or spider spatula. Assemble: Place cooked rice in wide, shallow bowl. Spoon 1—2 cups of the roasted veggies on the rice. Scoop sliced avocado into bowl and fan out slices.

Place pickled onions next, and top everything with the poached egg. Drizzle the tahini dressing and lightly crack black pepper to finish. Serve immediately! I've made a few minor updates to the recipe since then, and now have my own little recipe site.

Hope you enjoy this recipe! Please note, this isn't exactly 'health food,' this is a lightened up version of a typically very heavy dish. Chicken breast pieces are lightly coated in panko and baked in the oven until crispy. The sauce is made from fresh oranges and sweetened with honey. The original recipe is here — and has some more tips that may be helpful.

Instructions Begin preheating the oven to ° F and spray a large rimmed baking sheet with oil. Season the chicken pieces with salt and fresh cracked black pepper and pour the panko out onto a wide plate. Working in batches, coat the chicken in the beaten egg then press into the panko to coat.

Arrange on the prepared baking sheet as spaced out as possible. Spray the tops of the chicken pieces with oil. Place the chicken into the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, flip each piece and rotate the pan when you place it back into the oven.

Bake for another 7—10 minutes until the chicken is crispy and cooked through. Meanwhile, on a separate baking sheet, toss the broccoli with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven for about 10 minutes, tossing halfway through, until crisp and charred in a few spots.

OR, pan fry broccoli in a swirl of olive oil over medium heat for 2—3 minutes. While the chicken cooks, make the sauce. Combine the soy sauce and cornstarch in a small bowl and whisk until fully combined. Pour into a small saucepan, then add the rest of the ingredients for the sauce and mix well.

Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat and simmer until a thick sauce forms, about 5 minutes. Transfer the cooked chicken into a large mixing bowl, drizzle the sauce over the chicken and toss to coat you may not want to use all of the sauce, so add it in steps until the chicken is coated to your liking.

Add in the broccoli and toss to combine. Serve immediately topped with green onion, sesame seeds, and crushed red pepper. Great on a bed of white rice! These sesame mushroom fajitas pack huge flavor with a miso maple tahini dressing.

optional: ½ teaspoon sesame oil provides a richer smoother taste but can omit for an oil-free dressing. Either dissolve the miso with the two tablespoon warm water first, then add the remaining ingredients. Or… add everything together all at once and the warm water will still make sure the miso dissolves smoothly.

Taste and adjust the dressing to your preference. Add more maple syrup for sweetness or lemon juice for tang, and sesame oil for a nutty smooth flavor.

Use immediately, or store in the fridge for about 5—7 days. The sauce will thicken as it sits so just stir in a little more water before using to make it pourable again. Pour the marinade over the mushrooms, turning the slices to coat evenly, and marinate for 10 minutes.

While the mushrooms marinate, heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the corn and allow the corn to char, stirring occasionally, while you slice the bell peppers and red onion. Once the corn is nicely charred, about 10 minutes, add in the onion and soften for 1 minute or so. Then add in the bell peppers and season with salt and pepper.

Stir occasionally while you grill the mushrooms. Heat a grill pan on a separate burner. Once hot enough, add as many slices of mushrooms as you can fit comfortably on the grill. Be careful, the marinade may splash if the grill is too hot!

Warm your tortilla shells if desired. Spoon a mound of onion, peppers, and corn in the centre of the tortilla shells. Add about 4 mushroom strips on top. And garnish with cilantro and a drizzle of the miso maple tahini dressing.

Serves 4 as lunch or light dinner, it's pretty loaded with protein so it's actually pretty filling! To clarify the ingredient count — These are 5 core ingredients. The toppings are optional and just there to show you how to upgrade this meal if you have them in your crisper or pantry.

I'm trying to develop foundational recipes that can be made at home without using too many ingredients. I also just calculated the nutrition and added it at the end of this comment!! Nutrition is per serving.

Heat the sesame oil in a wide pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the shallot and cook for 3 minutes until it just begins to soften. Season with salt. Add the pearl couscous and cook for 3 minutes more until it begins to toast and turn golden brown. Add the water to a large glass measuring cup.

Microwave it for 1 minute until hot. Add the miso and whisk until combined. Set aside. Pour the miso water into the pot and stir to combine. Bring to a low boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 12—15 minutes or until the couscous is tender. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

Ladle the chickpeas and pearl couscous into bowls. Garnish with Shichimi Togarashi and minced scallions if you like. Calories: kcal Carbohydrates: 67g Protein: 17g Fat: 7g Sodium: mg Fiber: 12g Sugar: 6g Vitamin C: 2mg".

It's super simple, but SO tasty! Check out the original here. Heat olive oil on medium heat for a minute, then add onion.

Sauté until softened, and then add garlic and jalapeño. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add ground beef and seasonings: salt, cumin, coriander, pepper, cinnamon, ginger, fennel and turmeric.

Brown the beef until it is almost fully done. Add lemon juice optional and salt and pepper to taste. Can be served with flatbread, tortillas, over rice, or simply eaten as is!

To make it cheaper: substitute diced Roma tomatoes for cherry tomatoes; serve over rice to stretch servings. Preheat the oven to degrees F. Snap the woody ends off the asparagus use them in homemade veggie broth and arrange the asparagus spears on a lined baking sheet.

Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Roast for 8—12 minutes, turning once. While the asparagus is in the oven, add another drizzle of olive oil or about 2 tablespoon of vegetable broth to a large pot and heat over medium heat.

Add onion and garlic to the pot and season with salt and pepper. Stir and cook 2—3 minutes until the onion is soft and the garlic is slightly browned. Stir in the beans and potatoes and cover with broth. Raise the heat to bring the soup to a boil, then lower and simmer with the lid on for 5 minutes or so until the potatoes can easily be pierced and broken with a fork.

Remove the asparagus from the oven. Cut the spears down to 1 inch pieces so they are easier to blend and add them to the soup. Stir in the milk, lemon juice you can start with the lesser amount and add more if desired , dill, and nutritional yeast if using.

Either carefully transfer the soup to your blender if it can handle hot liquids or puree with an immersion blender until creamy and smooth. If transferring to your blender you may have to blend in two batches.

If you used a stand up blender, return the soup to the pot and bring back to a simmer for about 5 minutes to combine all the flavors. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired, adding more salt or pepper, lemon, or nutritional yeast to deepen the flavor. It's ready in 30 minutes!

Recipe originally posted here: Hariyali Chicken. Place the yogurt, coriander, mint, and chillies into a hand blender or a regular blender and blend until smooth. Heat oil in a large pot or skillet, and add the chicken. Sauté for 4—5 minutes or until the chicken changes color.

Now add the green yogurt masala and 1—2 tablespoons of water. Lower the heat and cover the pot with a lid. Cook for 5—7 minutes, while stirring in between, until the chicken is cooked through.

Remove the lid, and increase the heat. Cook the hariyali chicken on high heat, while stirring continuously, until you see the oil separating from the curry and the gravy has thickened slightly. Yogurt: Use full-fat plain yogurt for the best results. I do not recommend using greek yogurt as it would alter the taste a bit, but can be used in a pinch.

Green chillies: You can skip them altogether if you don't want the recipe to be spicy. Thai green chillies or jalapeno are recommended. Ginger garlic paste: Use homemade or store-bought. You can also use freshly chopped garlic and ginger.

Chicken: I use chicken breast for this recipe as it cooks fast, but you can also use bone-in chicken or boneless chicken thighs. However, the cooking time will increase by 10—15 minutes.

Make-Ahead: You can also make the green masala ahead of time, and store it in the fridge for 3—4 days.

Original Recipe here. This recipe can be easily prepped in the freezer. When tri-tip is on sale I will buy 4—5 lbs and prepare freezer packs for later easy meals. It only takes about 15 minutes to prepare once the steak is marinated.

Freezer instructions included below. Combine all ingredients of the marinade. Trim excess fat from the steaks and place in a zip bag with the marinade.

Marinate in fridge for at least 6 hours before cooking preferably overnight. When ready to cook, remove the steak from the bag and discard the rest of the marinade shake off excess but do not pat the steaks dry. Grill steak to desired doneness, or cook in a cast iron pan with a swirl of olive oil.

I cook in mine in a cast iron pan over high heat, turning every few minutes, until an internal temp of °F, about 8—10 minutes. Note, the marinade may cause some additional charring on the outside, but this contributes to the flavor and isn't noticeable after slicing.

Let the steak rest for a few minutes, then slice into small pieces as pictured. Toss the steak in the juices after cutting. Warm tortillas for a few seconds in the microwave.

Divide the steak evenly between the tortillas, then top with onion, cilantro, and a squeeze of lime to taste. Trim steaks and prepare appropriate quantity of marinade. Package steaks, in marinade, in a freezer safe zip bag or vacuum bag. Package size should be the quantity you will want to defrost at a time I do 1 lb.

Defrost steak at least 6 hours before you plan to cook it, giving the steak time to marinate. I suggest moving from the freezer to fridge the night before. Preheat your oven to degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Wash, dry, and dice sweet potatoes I like to leave the skin on. Season potatoes with salt, pepper and chilli powder. Then coat in the starch. Then add the oil and toss the potatoes until no more starch is visible. As the sweet potato bakes, heat oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the corn kernels and season with salt and pepper. Char the corn for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until nicely browned and starting to pop. Slice your avocado in half. Scoop the flesh out of the half without the pit and add it to a blender or food processor.

Add the sour cream, lime juice, and sprinkle of salt and blend until smooth. Once the corn is charred, add the beans and minced chilli pepper, cook for another 3 minutes or so to heat the beans through. Add the orange zest and splash of orange juice if using.

Stir for another minute and then remove from the heat and keep warm until ready to serve. Remove the pit from the remaining half of the avocado by gently squeezing the sides of the avocado to loosen the pit OR carefully striking the pit with the blade of your knife strike it with the whole flat edge, not the tip and twist to pull the pit loose.

Carefully use the tip of your knife to score the flesh of the avocado into cubes. Then guide a spoon around the edges of the avocado to scoop out the flesh it will come out nicely cubed instead of struggling to slice the slippery avocado outside the skin.

Spoon 1—2 tablespoons of your crema on the warmed tortillas, top with the spicy citrus corn and beans, then the roasted sweet potato. Garnish with cubed avocado, cilantro, and more drizzled crema you can add a bit more water to thin out some crema and make more of a drizzle for the top.

Enjoy warm! Recipe serves 2—3. Slice the zucchini in half and using a teaspoon, scoop out the center, about an inch deep. Place them on the lined baking sheet and brush the four zucchini halves with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Put the sheet in the oven and roast for 15—20 minutes.

This will depend on the size of your zucchini. You want them to be tender, but not mushy. Use a fork to see how easily you can pierce the side and do a little touch test. Look for them to begin browning slightly on the sides.

Meanwhile, mix together the tuna, celery, onion, and dill with the other tablespoon of olive oil and the lemon juice. Once the zucchini is done, take it out of the oven and turn on the broiler.

Fill your canoes with the tuna mixture and top with the cheese. Meanwhile, place walnuts and spices in your food processor and pulse until crumbled.

My favorite way to enjoy this is on sourdough toast, topped with arugula or microgreens. Mash the chickpeas with a fork, or pulse in a food processor until chunky recommended method if you have one available.

Combine all ingredients together in a medium mixing bowl, season with salt and pepper, mix until fully combined. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Use as a sandwich filling, serve on toast, or with crackers. You could sub the carrots with potato to make it more filling and sub the cannellini beans with whatever tinned legume you have on hand!

See here for the recipe with process pics and nutritional values! Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium.

Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly caramelized, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Stir in carrots. Add the beans and soy sauce, stirring to coat evenly. Add water and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until carrots are tender and broth has thickened, about 15 minutes.

Original recipe here. The pre-shredded mixes make this recipe easier, but you can save money but shredding the veggies yourself! Peel the shallot and thinly slice it across the short end, creating rings.
