$To make the Peach Galette with Almond Crust, gather these key ingredients: - 1 ½ cups almond flour - ½ cup all-purpose flour - ¼ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed - 1 tablespoon sugar - 1/4 teaspoon salt - 1/4 cup ice water - 4 ripe peaches, sliced - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup - 1 tablespoon lemon juice - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract - 1 tablespoon cornstarch - 1 egg (for egg wash) - Turbinado sugar (for sprinkling on crust) You can adjust the measurements based on your taste or dietary needs. For example: - Almond flour gives a nutty flavor but can be swapped with oat flour for a different taste. - If you want a dairy-free option, use coconut oil instead of butter. - Maple syrup can replace honey for a vegan version. - Feel free to use more or less sugar based on your peach's sweetness. The essential ingredients are the almond flour, peaches, and butter. These create the main structure and flavor. The optional items include: - Honey or maple syrup for sweetness - Lemon juice for brightening the flavor - Vanilla extract for added depth - Cornstarch to thicken the peach filling Using all the optional ingredients can enhance the dish, but the galette will still shine with just the essentials. For the full recipe, check out the complete instructions for making this delightful dessert. To make the almond crust, start by mixing the dry ingredients. In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of almond flour, ½ cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and ¼ teaspoon of salt. This blend gives the crust a lovely nutty flavor. Next, add in ¼ cup of cubed cold unsalted butter. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to mix until it looks like coarse crumbs. This step is key for a flaky crust. Now, it's time to add the ice water. Gradually mix in ¼ cup, adding one tablespoon at a time. Stop when the dough starts to come together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. This rest time helps the crust hold its shape while baking. While the crust chills, let’s make the peach filling. Take 4 ripe peaches and slice them. In a medium bowl, combine the sliced peaches with 2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Toss everything gently. The cornstarch helps thicken the filling, so it won’t make the crust soggy. Let the mixture sit for a bit to allow the flavors to blend. After the dough has chilled, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out your dough into a rough circle about 12 inches in diameter. Don’t worry about making it perfect; a rustic look is charming. Carefully transfer the dough to a lined baking sheet. Spoon the peach mixture into the center, leaving a 2-inch border. Gently fold the edges of the dough over the peach filling, making little pleats as you go. This creates a beautiful edge. For a nice golden color, beat 1 egg and brush it over the crust. Then, sprinkle some turbinado sugar on top for a delightful crunch. Now, bake your galette for 30-35 minutes. You want the crust to be golden brown, and the peaches should be bubbly. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This galette is perfect warm or at room temperature. Enjoy it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a special treat. For the complete process, refer to the Full Recipe. To get that perfect crust, use cold butter. It helps keep the crust flaky. You can also chill your mixing bowl. This keeps everything cool. When mixing, aim for a crumbly texture. Don't overmix! A little warmth from your hands can melt the butter. This can make the crust tough. You can add spices to boost flavor. A pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg works well. Try adding fresh herbs like thyme or basil for a twist. You can also swap peaches for other fruits. Berries or apples can make great substitutes. Drizzling a little honey or maple syrup enhances sweetness too. One mistake is not chilling the dough. If the dough is warm, it won’t hold its shape. Another issue is overfilling the galette. Too much filling can make it hard to fold. Watch the baking time; every oven is different. Pull it out when the crust is golden brown. For the best taste, serve it warm. Check out the Full Recipe for all the steps! {{image_2}} You can swap peaches for other fruits. Try nectarines, plums, or berries. Each fruit brings its unique flavor. For example, berries add a nice tartness. Adjust the sugar based on the fruit's sweetness. Keep the same filling steps, and enjoy a new twist each time. If you need a gluten-free option, use only almond flour. You can mix in a bit of coconut flour for texture. This keeps the crust light and tasty. Make sure your other ingredients, like sugar and butter, are gluten-free too. Your galette will still taste amazing! To make this galette vegan, replace butter with coconut oil. Use a flax egg instead of a regular egg. Mix one tablespoon of flaxseed meal with three tablespoons of water. Let it sit for a few minutes to thicken. This will help bind your crust. Use maple syrup in place of honey for sweetness. These simple changes keep your galette delicious and plant-based. For the full recipe, follow the instructions provided, and enjoy your cooking! You can keep your peach galette in the fridge. Wrap it in plastic wrap or foil. It will stay fresh for up to three days. The crust may lose some crunch, but the flavor stays great. To serve, let it sit at room temperature for a bit. If you want to store it for longer, freezing is the way to go. First, let the galette cool completely. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, then place it in an airtight container. It will last up to three months in the freezer. When you’re ready to eat, thaw it in the fridge overnight. To reheat your galette, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the galette on a baking sheet. Heat it for about 10-15 minutes. This way, the crust gets crispy again, and the peaches warm up nicely. Enjoy it warm, maybe with a scoop of ice cream! A galette is a free-form pie. It has a rustic look and is easy to make. You can fill it with fruits, veggies, or even meats. The crust is often flaky and buttery. It does not need a pie dish, which makes it fun to prepare. You simply roll out the dough and fold the edges over the filling. This creates a lovely, casual presentation. Galettes are great for any occasion, from family dinners to gatherings with friends. Yes, you can use frozen peaches. They are a good option when fresh peaches are out of season. Thaw the peaches first and drain any excess liquid. This helps keep the filling from being too watery. The flavor will still be sweet and delicious. Just slice them and mix them with your other filling ingredients as you would with fresh peaches. To keep the crust crisp, follow these tips: - Use cold ingredients: Start with cold butter and ice water for the dough. - Pre-bake the crust: If you want, you can pre-bake the crust for a few minutes before adding the filling. - Add a layer: Sprinkle almond flour or cornstarch on the crust before adding the peaches. This absorbs excess moisture. - Don’t overfill: Avoid adding too much filling. Leave enough space for the juices to bubble without spilling over. These steps will help create a crust that is golden and flaky. Enjoy your Peach Galette with Almond Crust! For the full recipe, refer to the section above. We covered everything you need to know to make a delicious peach galette. You learned about the right ingredients, how to prepare the crust, and how to bake the filling.

Each ingredient plays a key role in making this dish stand out. Eggplants are the star here. They soak up flavors and add a rich texture. Salting the eggplants helps remove bitterness. It also gets rid of excess moisture, which is important to avoid a soggy dish. Marinara sauce adds a nice tang. You can use store-bought or make your own. Homemade sauce is fresh and full of flavor, but store-bought saves time. Ricotta cheese is creamy and rich. It adds a soft layer that balances the eggplant. Parmesan cheese brings a nutty, salty kick. It melts well and complements the other cheeses. Mozzarella is the cheese for gooeyness. It stretches and creates that delightful pull when served. Dried basil and oregano add warmth and depth to the dish. Fresh basil on top adds a pop of color and a fresh taste. Drizzling olive oil gives a nice finish and helps everything brown nicely. This dish is not just tasty; it’s also packed with nutrients. The eggplants provide fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The cheeses offer protein and calcium. You can enjoy a hearty meal that nourishes both body and soul. Eggplant Parmesan Bake can be a balanced meal. Each serving has a good mix of protein, healthy fats, and carbs. You can enjoy it without guilt. You can switch ingredients if needed. Use zucchini instead of eggplant for a lighter dish. Vegan cheese works well for a dairy-free option. If you want whole grain, use whole wheat pasta instead of bread. Using your favorite herbs can also change the flavor. Try adding thyme or rosemary for a new twist. Don't hesitate to explore options that fit your taste! For the full recipe, check the detailed instructions. 1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). This helps the bake cook evenly. 2. Prepare and salt the eggplant slices. This step draws out moisture and bitterness. - Slice 2 medium eggplants into ½-inch rounds. - Sprinkle 1 teaspoon salt over the slices. - Let them sit for about 30 minutes. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. - In a large skillet, add a drizzle of olive oil and heat over medium. - Sauté the eggplant slices until golden brown and tender. This should take about 3-4 minutes per side. - Transfer the cooked slices to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. - In a mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of ricotta cheese, half of the grated Parmesan cheese (1 cup), 1 teaspoon dried basil, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well. - In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of 2 cups marinara sauce on the bottom. - Layer half of the sautéed eggplant over the sauce. - Spoon half of the ricotta mixture over the eggplant.

To make eggplant perfect, start with salting. Salting draws out moisture. This helps reduce bitterness. Slice your eggplants into ½-inch rounds. Sprinkle them with salt and let them sit for about 30 minutes. Rinse off the salt and pat them dry. This step helps the eggplant fry better. When you sauté them, aim for a golden brown color. This gives a nice flavor and a great texture. Choosing the right cheese is key to a great bake. Ricotta cheese gives creaminess. It helps bind the layers well. I also love using a mix of mozzarella and Parmesan. Mozzarella melts beautifully, while Parmesan adds a salty kick. You can also try provolone or fontina cheese for a twist. Mixing cheeses creates depth in flavor. Feel free to adjust the amounts based on your taste. Sogginess can ruin your eggplant bake. To prevent this, ensure your eggplant is dry before cooking. Avoid using too much marinara sauce. A little goes a long way. Layering also matters. Start with a thin layer of sauce at the bottom. This keeps the eggplant from sitting in moisture. Cover the baking dish with foil during baking, then uncover it later. This helps the cheese brown nicely without making your dish wet. You can find the Full Recipe for this delightful dish to perfect your own Eggplant Parmesan Bake! {{image_2}} For a vegan twist, swap the dairy cheese with plant-based options. Use cashew cream or tofu for the ricotta. Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor. For Parmesan, try store-bought vegan cheese or make your own by blending nuts and nutritional yeast. This way, you keep the rich taste while making it plant-friendly. You can make this dish gluten-free easily. Use gluten-free breadcrumbs instead of regular ones for a crispy top layer. Ensure your marinara sauce is gluten-free as well. Many brands offer gluten-free options, so check the labels. This way, everyone can enjoy the dish without worry. Boost the nutrition by adding more veggies. Spinach, zucchini, or bell peppers work great. Slice them thin and layer them with the eggplant. This adds color and flavor to the dish.

Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it looks clear. Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger. Cook for 1-2 minutes until you smell their aroma. Now, add the red curry paste, ground cumin, and ground coriander. Mix it all well and let the spices cook for another minute. This helps bring out their flavors.

$The key to making Chili Lime Grilled Corn is using fresh and vibrant ingredients. Here’s what you need: - Fresh corn (4 ears, husked) - Olive oil (2 tablespoons) - Spices and seasonings: - Chili powder (1 teaspoon) - Smoked paprika (1/2 teaspoon) - Salt and pepper to taste - Cheese options: - Crumbled feta cheese (1/4 cup) - Cotija cheese (for a different flavor) - Garnish ingredients: - Fresh cilantro (chopped) - Juice of 2 limes Using fresh corn makes a big difference. It adds sweetness and crunch. The olive oil helps the spices stick and adds richness. The chili powder and smoked paprika give it a nice kick and depth of flavor. You can choose between feta or cotija cheese for a creamy finish. I love the tang of feta, but cotija works great too. Finally, cilantro adds a fresh touch, and lime juice brightens everything up. For the full recipe, check out the complete instructions and get ready to enjoy this zesty summer side dish! Start by husking the corn. Pull down the green leaves and remove all the silk. Rinse the corn under cold water to ensure it is clean. This step is key for great flavor. Next, make the marinade. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, chili powder, smoked paprika, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Stir well until it blends together. This marinade gives the corn its zesty kick. Now it’s time to grill. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. This helps the corn cook evenly and get those nice grill marks. Once heated, brush the marinade onto each ear of corn. Make sure to coat all sides evenly. Place the corn directly on the grill. Cook it for about 10 to 12 minutes. Turn the corn every few minutes to avoid burning and to get that perfect char. To check if the corn is done, look for a tender texture and a nice golden-brown color. You want to see some charred spots but not too much blackening. After grilling, take the corn off the grill. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese or cotija cheese on top. This adds a salty flavor that pairs well with the lime. For a final touch, drizzle any leftover marinade over the corn. Garnish with fresh cilantro for color and flavor. Serve the corn warm, with lime wedges on the side. This adds an extra zesty touch to each bite. You can serve this corn with other summer dishes like grilled chicken or a fresh salad. Its bright flavors make it a great side for any meal. For the full recipe, check out the details above. To make great chili lime grilled corn, managing your grill's heat is key. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, around 400°F. This ensures even cooking. If your grill is too hot, you risk burning the corn. Keep an eye on it. Turn the corn every few minutes. You want a nice char but not blackened kernels. Adjusting spice levels can make your corn just right for you. If you like more heat, add extra chili powder. For a milder taste, use less. Fresh herbs can boost flavor too. Chopped cilantro adds a fresh touch. You can also try using fresh parsley or basil for a unique twist. One common mistake is underseasoning the corn. The marinade should have enough salt and lime juice for flavor. Don't skimp on these! Another pitfall is overcooking. Corn should grill for about 10-12 minutes. If you cook it too long, it can become tough. Follow the timing closely for the best results. For the full recipe, check the details above. {{image_2}} You can switch up the cheese for more flavor. Feta cheese works well, but cotija cheese is a great choice too. Cotija adds a salty bite that pairs nicely with lime. For a vegan option, skip the cheese or use a plant-based version. Nutritional yeast can add a cheesy taste without dairy. Herbs can change the taste of your corn. Fresh cilantro is a classic choice, but try adding basil or parsley for a twist. You can also boost the heat. Add more chili powder or toss in some cayenne pepper. If you like it spicy, jalapeños can bring the heat. Just chop them finely and mix them into the marinade. Grilling is the best way to cook corn, but you can bake it too. For oven-baked corn, wrap the ears in foil with the marinade. Bake at 400°F for about 20 minutes. You can also cook corn on the stovetop. Use a grill pan on medium-high heat. This method gives you those nice grill marks without a grill. Explore these variations to make your chili lime grilled corn uniquely yours. For the full recipe, check out the [Full Recipe] section above. To keep chili lime grilled corn fresh, store it in an airtight container. Place it in the fridge right after it cools down. Use it within three days for the best taste. If you have more corn than you can eat, freezing is a great option. Wrap each ear tightly in plastic wrap. Then, place them in a freezer bag. Make sure to remove as much air as possible before sealing. This way, your corn will stay tasty for up to three months. For reheating, the best method is to use the grill or oven. Preheat your grill or oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the corn on the grill or a baking sheet. Heat for about 5-10 minutes, turning occasionally until warm. You can also use the microwave if you’re in a hurry. Just wrap the corn in a damp paper towel and heat for 1-2 minutes. To boost the flavors after storage, squeeze fresh lime juice or add a pinch of salt before serving. Chili lime grilled corn lasts about three days in the fridge. After that, it may lose its taste and texture. Look for signs of spoilage: a sour smell, slimy texture, or discoloration. If you see any of these signs, it's best to throw it away. Fresh corn has a sweet smell and bright color, so trust your senses! To add heat to your grilled corn, you have a few options. You can mix in cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes into the marinade. Another method is to brush the corn with a spicy hot sauce before grilling. I love using sriracha or a smoky chipotle sauce for extra flavor. These sauces not only add heat but also enhance the corn’s taste. Yes, you can use frozen corn, but there are a few steps. First, thaw the corn completely before using it. You can do this by leaving it in the fridge overnight or placing it in warm water for about 10 minutes. Frozen corn may not have the same crunch as fresh corn, but it still tastes good. Fresh corn has a sweeter flavor, while frozen corn is quick and easy. If you need a substitute for feta cheese, try crumbled goat cheese. It has a similar tangy taste and creamy texture. Another great option is cotija cheese, which is often used in Mexican dishes. For a dairy-free choice, use a vegan feta or nutritional yeast. Both options give a nice flavor without dairy. Grilling corn can be simple and fun. We covered key ingredients, from spices to cheeses. You learned to prepare, grill, and present your corn for the best taste. I shared tips to avoid mistakes and variations to keep things fresh. Now, you can store leftovers and reheat them easily. Enjoy these techniques to impress your family. Grilling corn becomes a tasty experience that you can make your own. With practice, you will master the art of grilling corn!$

For a tangy twist, mix in more balsamic vinegar. You can even swap maple syrup for honey or agave syrup if you prefer. Experiment with different spices, too. Try adding cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm flavor. Maple glazed Brussels sprouts make a great side dish. They pair well with roasted meats like chicken or pork.

Honey or agave syrup can work well. They will change the flavor slightly. You might find you like one better than the other. Just keep the same amount when you swap them out. Change up your Brussels sprouts for different holidays. For Thanksgiving, add cranberries for a festive touch. In winter, try adding roasted chestnuts for warmth. Each season brings unique flavors, so have fun experimenting! To keep your leftover Brussels sprouts fresh, place them in an airtight container. Make sure the container is sealed well. Store them in the fridge. They will stay good for about 3 to 4 days. If you notice any moisture inside the container, use a paper towel to absorb it. This helps prevent sogginess. When you're ready to eat your leftovers, reheat them gently. I recommend using the oven for the best taste. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet in a single layer. Heat them for about 10 minutes or until they are warm. This method keeps them crispy and tasty. You can also use a microwave if you're short on time, but the texture may not be as good. If you want to save your Brussels sprouts for later, freezing is a great option. First, cool them completely after cooking. Then, spread them out on a baking sheet and freeze them for about 2 hours. This prevents them from sticking together. Once frozen, transfer the sprouts to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can last for up to 3 months in the freezer. When you are ready to eat them, thaw them in the fridge overnight before reheating. Enjoy your maple glazed Brussels sprouts anytime! Yes, you can use frozen Brussels sprouts. Just thaw them and pat them dry. This helps to keep them from getting mushy. The flavor will still be good, but fresh sprouts offer a better texture. If you use frozen ones, adjust the cooking time. Cook them a bit longer to ensure they are tender and caramelized. You can swap out ingredients easily. Here are some ideas: - Use honey instead of maple syrup for sweetness. - Swap olive oil with avocado oil for a higher smoke point. - Use apple cider vinegar instead of balsamic vinegar for a different taste. - If you don’t have garlic powder, fresh minced garlic works great too. - Pecans can be changed to walnuts or almonds if desired.

Wrap the tofu in a clean towel and place a heavy object on top. This will help remove excess water. Let it sit for about 15 minutes. After pressing, cut the tofu into bite-sized cubes. Next, marinate the tofu to add flavor. In a bowl, mix the cubed tofu with soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for 10 minutes. This step adds a nice depth to your dish. Now, it's time to coat the tofu with cornstarch. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of cornstarch over the marinated tofu. Toss the tofu gently to coat each piece evenly. This will help it become crispy when baked. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the coated tofu evenly on the baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Be sure to turn the tofu halfway through. You want it golden brown and crispy. While the tofu bakes, prepare your bowl. Start with a base of cooked quinoa. It adds protein and fiber. Next, layer chopped kale, sliced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and shredded carrots. Finally, add sliced avocado for creaminess.

You can also add garlic powder or onion powder for more depth. For added zing, try marinades. A mix of soy sauce, lime juice, and a hint of maple syrup works wonders. Let the tofu soak up the flavors for at least 10 minutes. Don’t forget about sauces! Drizzle sriracha or tahini sauce over the bowl. These add a kick and complement the crispy tofu well. When serving your Buddha bowl, think of colorful pairings. Use a base of quinoa topped with fresh kale. Add vibrant cherry tomatoes and cool cucumber slices.

For a vegan twist, try adding lentils or black beans. These options are rich in protein and fiber, making your bowl hearty. Quinoa is a popular base, but you can get creative. Brown rice is a great alternative. It has a chewy texture and nutty flavor. Farro also works well and gives a nice bite. If you need gluten-free options, try rice or millet.

This helps keep everything fresh. Use airtight containers to avoid moisture and air. Glass or BPA-free plastic containers work best. These keep your meal tasty for the next day.

When you're ready to eat, thaw in the fridge overnight. Reheat in a pan or microwave. Add a splash of water to keep it moist. The Buddha bowl stays fresh in the fridge for up to three days.

Avoid overcrowding the pan or baking sheet. This keeps the tofu from getting crispy. Also, do not skip the cornstarch; it makes a big difference! Yes, you can easily make this Buddha bowl vegan!

One serving of this dish provides: - Calories: 150 - Protein: 4g - Carbohydrates: 10g - Fiber: 5g - Fat: 9g Cauliflower rice offers many health benefits. First, it is low in calories. This helps with weight loss. Second, it is rich in vitamins C and K. These vitamins support your immune system and bone health. Third, it is high in fiber. Fiber aids digestion and keeps you full longer. Plus, it is gluten-free! This makes it great for those with gluten allergies. Overall, cauliflower rice is a smart choice for a healthy meal. For the full recipe, check out the details above. To start, you need to prepare the cauliflower. First, remove the leaves and stem. Then, cut it into small florets. Next, use a food processor to pulse the florets. Aim for about 10 pulses until it looks like rice. If you don’t have a food processor, a box grater works well too. Just grate the cauliflower until it resembles rice grains. This will give your stir-fry a light and fluffy base. Now it's time to cook the vegetables. Grab a large non-stick skillet or wok. Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add 2 cloves of minced garlic and 1-inch grated ginger. Sauté these for about 30 seconds; the smell will be amazing! Next, toss in 1 cup of julienned carrots, 1 cup of sliced bell peppers, and 1 cup of snap peas. Stir-fry everything for about 3-4 minutes. You want the veggies to be tender yet still crisp. Add the riced cauliflower into your skillet and mix well. Keep sautéing for another 5-6 minutes until the cauliflower is warm and tender. Now, pour in 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, and sriracha if you like heat. Stir everything to coat well and let it cook for 2 more minutes. Finally, remove the skillet from heat and fold in 3 chopped green onions. Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro. For the full recipe, check the details above and enjoy your healthy meal! To make great cauliflower rice, use a fresh head of cauliflower. Cut it into small florets. Pulse them in a food processor until rice-like. Be careful not to over-process; it can become mushy. If you don’t have a food processor, a box grater works too. Just grate until you have small pieces. The size of the rice matters for even cooking. Soggy stir-fry ruins the dish. To keep your stir-fry crisp, dry the cauliflower rice well before cooking. You can use a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out extra moisture. Always cook over medium-high heat. This helps the water evaporate quickly. Cook the vegetables briefly to keep them crunchy. Stir them often for even cooking. Having the right tools makes cooking easier. Here are my top picks for this dish: - A large non-stick skillet or wok for even heat. - A food processor or box grater to rice the cauliflower. - A sharp knife and cutting board for chopping veggies. - Measuring spoons and cups for precise ingredient amounts. These tools help you create a tasty meal without stress. For the full recipe, check the details above. {{image_2}} You can easily boost your stir-fry with protein. Tofu, chicken, or shrimp add taste and fill you up. For tofu, use firm or extra-firm. Cut it into cubes and fry it until golden. Add it to the pan after the veggies. For chicken, use diced breast or thigh. Cook it until no longer pink, then mix it in. Shrimp cooks fast, so add it just before the cauliflower. It takes only a few minutes to turn pink. Each of these proteins pairs well with the dish and makes it heartier. If you want a vegetarian or vegan option, tofu is a great choice. But you can also use chickpeas or edamame. These options pack a protein punch without meat. Just rinse canned chickpeas and toss them in. Edamame can be added shelled and cooked. Both options make your dish filling and tasty while keeping it plant-based. To kick up the flavor, try adding spices or sauces. Garlic and ginger give a great base.
