When we don’t have time to prepare food or the creativity to create new dishes, many of us choose take-away. And while there are limitless possibilities when it comes to ordering out, they’re usually not the healthiest. Minimalist Baker is here to help us enjoy our favorite dishes, with healthier alternatives that you can cook at home. The best part is that all of her recipes are 10 ingredients or less, require one bowl, and take 30 minutes or less to prepare. The following dishes also happen to be vegan and gluten-free.
Cashew Alfredo
You won’t believe that this recipe uses only seven ingredients, comes together in 30 minutes, and is vegan. Instead of a cream-based alfredo sauce, this plant-based one uses cashews, almond milk, and nutritional yeast for the creaminess. After you’ve made the sauce, you can enjoy it with pasta, zoodles, or as a white sauce on pizza.
Noodle-Free Pad Thai
This modified version of Pad Thai skips the noodles by using carrots, collard greens, bell peppers, and cabbage as noodles and the sauce includes almond butter, lime juice, coconut aminos, maple syrup, and chili flakes.
Butternut Squash Veggie Pizza
Instead of a typical tomato sauce and cheese pizza, Minimalist Baker creates one with a butternut squash sauce and tops it with broccolini, red onion, chickpeas, and vegan Parmesan cheese. You won’t miss delivery pizza after trying this veggie-loaded one.
