Cheap Lazy Vegan Recipes
When time is short, energy is low, and you and your family are getting hangry, these 30 Lazy Vegan Recipes will come to the rescue! They’re my go-to recipes when I don’t feel like cooking. With five or fewer ingredients, and less than 30 minutes to pull off, they’re easier than ordering take-out!
There are days when I have a whole afternoon to enjoy the process of cooking a slow and leisurely meal. I’m one of those people who truly loves to cook! However, I don’t always have the time or energy to spend hours in the kitchen.
Some days, I’m exhausted from working, parenting, running errands, and keeping the house kept up, and when dinner time rolls around, the last thing on Earth I want to do is make dinner.
Easy Vegan Recipes
That’s when I pull out one of my five favorite lazy vegan recipes. These recipes follow the WFPB Diet and are no fuss!
It doesn’t get much easier than this! Chickpea pasta is a staple we keep in our pantry, along with the pre-made marinara sauce. Look for a sauce with 0 grams of sugar and no oil added. I also have fresh or frozen spinach to throw into the sauce to make this a complete meal. If you don’t have spinach, add your favorite veggie. Fresh peppers, frozen peas and carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, and veggie work!
Step 2: Heat marinara sauce in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add spinach when the sauce begins to boil. Reduce heat and cover. Cook for an additional 5 minutes or until spinach wilts.
Easy Vegan Recipes For People Who Can't Cook
This short-cut vegan fried rice recipe uses pre-cooked brown rice, tofu, and a frozen mixed vegetable medley! You can also use a frozen stir-fry medley for this recipe.
Step 1: Cook brown rice in the microwave according to package directions. If you don’t have a brown rice steamer bag, you can make instant pot brown rice to save time.
Step 2: While cooking rice, quickly press the water out of the tofu. Usually, I press my tofu for 15 minutes, but when I’m in a crunch for time, I do a quick press. Drain water from tofu. Place the tofu block on two paper towels folded into quarters, fold two additional paper towels into quarters, and place them on top of the tofu. Gently but firmly press on the top of the tofu for 1-2 minutes. Then dice tofu into cubes.
