Each dish has 6 grams of fiber per serving and aligns with a vegetarian eating pattern to help you meet your needs and honor your preferences. Plus, you can have them on the table in just three steps or less for something that’s equally as easy as it is delicious. Mouthwatering recipes like our Sheet-Pan Roasted Butternut Squash Soup and Slow-Cooker Cauliflower & Chickpea Tikka Masala are nutritious and flavorful dinners you’ll want to make again and again. 01 of 20 One-Pot Potato Curry Photographer: Robby Lozano, Food Stylist: Jennifer Wendorf, Prop Styling: Lindsey Lower This potato curry recipe takes inspiration from both north and south Indian dishes, blending the aromatic spices common in the north, with a nod to thoran in the south with the addition of coconut milk. The simplicity of cooking everything in one pot adds to its appeal, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully for a truly comforting meal. View Recipe 02 of 20 Sheet-Pan Roasted Butternut Squash Soup Photographer: Robby Lozano, Food Stylist: Jennifer Wendorf, Prop Styling: Lindsey Lower Roasting the vegetables in the oven before blending them intensifies their flavors, resulting in a deeply rich and flavorful fall soup. We love the sweet and nutty flavor of butternut squash, but any winter squash with a similar texture, such as acorn, honeynut or kabocha squash, can be used in its place. View Recipe 03 of 20 Slow-Cooker Cauliflower & Chickpea Tikka Masala Photographer: Fred Hardy, Food Stylist: Jennifer Wendorf, Prop Stylist: Lydia Purcell This slow-cooker tikka masala is an ideal set-and-forget option for anyone craving veggies and warm, cozy spices. A combination of garam masala, curry powder and cumin adds to the complex flavor.

Frozen sweet potatoes and collard greens keep the prep to a minimum and it’s finished with a bit of heavy cream for body and richness. View Recipe 05 of 20 Mushroom-Miso Pasta Photographer: Jacob Fox, Food stylist: Holly Dreesman, Prop stylist: Joseph Wanek This miso pasta features mushrooms, another umami-forward ingredient that takes this quick vegetarian recipe to the next level. We use white miso, which is light and slightly sweet. Whisking the miso into the reserved cooking water makes it easier to incorporate into the pasta.

If you have a special bottle of olive oil, drizzle some on top of each bowl before serving. If you can’t find or don’t like chard, kale or collards would be equally delicious. View Recipe 07 of 20 Veggie Fajitas Photographer: Jacob Fox, Food stylist: Holly Dreesman, Prop stylist: Joseph Wanek These veggie fajitas are packed with sweet bell pepper and red onion. Creamy avocado and warm tortillas complete the meal. The veggies alone make a great meal-prep recipe to have on hand. Serve them over rice, or heat them up over tortilla chips topped with melting cheese.
