Tips & Variations
For an extra boost of flavor, try roasting your vegetables before adding them to soups or stews. This caramelizes their natural sugars and adds depth.
Feel free to substitute any legumes or grains based on your pantry stock. For example, swap lentils with black beans or quinoa with brown rice.
You can also add tofu or tempeh for more protein where you like.
Experiment with herbs and spices to create variations; adding smoked paprika or chipotle powder can give your dishes a smoky twist. For those who enjoy heat, a dash of cayenne or fresh chili peppers works wonders.
To make desserts, replace eggs with flaxseed or chia egg substitutes for binding. Use coconut oil or vegan butter to keep baked goods moist and flavorful.
