3. Sheet Pan Ratatouille

This Sheet Pan Ratatouille by Toni Okamoto does take a while from start to finish, but because the ratatouille is in the oven for the majority of that time, I still consider this a quick and easy dish! Unlike some ratatouille recipes that have you layer thinly sliced vegetables in an ornate spiral design, here the veggies are simply diced and tossed together on a sheet pan—no need to worry about your design or stand stirring a pot on the stove. There’s so much to love about ratatouille, especially its versatility. Try it atop rice, a hollowed out roasted squash, or pasta, or spoon it over a thick slice of bread and top with your favorite vegan cheese. Excerpted from Plant-Based on a Budget: Quick and Easy (BenBella Books).

This Sweet Potato, Kale, and Black Bean Quinoa Salad by Caroline Doucet is tossed in a simple garlic vinaigrette and nutritional yeast for a nutritious, light meal that’s packed with flavor. Start by roasting the sweet potatoes. While the sweet potatoes are roasting, you can prepare the rest of the recipe, which is basically just cooking the quinoa and preparing the sauce. The vinaigrette is a simple mix of oil, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar and garlic. Whisk it all together and toss it with the quinoa, black beans, kale and sweet potatoes. That’s it. This kale and quinoa salad is so simple. Everything is done in the time it takes you to roast the sweet potatoes. In other words, it’s done in 30 minutes. Roasted vegetables add so much flavor and the sweet potatoes pair perfectly with kale and black beans. This kale and quinoa salad might be one of your new go-to meals!
