This is an easy, 5-ingredient recipe for perfectly crispy vegan smashed potatoes. New potatoes are steam cooked until tender, then smashed with the bottom of a glass or jar to achieve a flattened shape. The smashed potatoes can be seasoned simply and then oven-baked on a sheet pan until they have a wonderfully crisp-tender texture. Snack on the potatoes as they are, or drizzle or dip them using your favorite sauce: either way, they’re irresistable! I don’t make a lot of viral recipes….

These oven-baked vegan zucchini chips will become your new favorite, homemade savory snack! They have a cheesy flavor, thanks to a coating of almond flour, bread crumbs, and homemade vegan “parmesan” with cashews and nutritional yeast. In place of an egg coating, the recipe calls for dipping the zucchini slices in aquafaba. Serve the chips with your favorite dipping sauce, and be prepared for the batch to disappear quickly! Nutrition clients frequently come to me with a request for more snack ideas. It’s…

It’s easy and fun to prepare, and the recipe offers different seasoning options. I’m not usually one to jump on viral food trends.

These are the best soft and chewy vegan peanut cookies! Their puffy shape and tender interior is irresistable. Creamy peanut butter is the main ingredient in an otherwise simple ingredient list, and a touch of sea salt is the perfect finishing touch. ‘Tis the season of cookies. This month, there will be festive, seasonal cookies aplenty. There will be sugar cookies, thumbprint cookies, cranberry almond biscotti, and vegan molasses ginger cookies. I love these holiday cookies so much, and of course they needn’t…

These are the best vegan morning glory muffins! They’re hearty and full of texture, packed with crushed and grated fruit, carrots, ground flaxseed, nuts, and shredded coconut. The muffins provide healthful fats, complex carbs, and fiber for your daily nourishment, and they’re a great make-ahead breakfast option for busy weeks. When I was in college, the campus cafe nearest to my dorm room sold plump, nutty, raisin-studded muffins called morning glory muffins. I remember ordering one early in my first semester and thinking…

What a rooftop it was! It was perched high in the sky, at the top of a tall hotel in downtown Manhattan, and with a pool, to boot. Practicing…

These crispy roasted chickpeas will add crunch, along with plant-powered nutrition, to your salads, bowls, pasta dishes, and more. They’re one of the most versatile and useful vegan proteins to batch cook, and they’re so easy to make! The first chapter of The Vegan Week is titled simply, “proteins.” Here’s what I have to say about the recipes in that chapter: As a new vegan, I was quick to dismiss concerns about eating enough protein. In fact, I would roll my eyes when…

These stuffed dates with vegan ricotta cheese are sweet, savory, and completely irresistable! A finishing drizzle of herb-infused agave syrup takes their flavor to new heights. The dates are perfect hors d’oeuvres for entertaining, and they also make a great, plant-based snack. I love Medjool dates so much that it’s often hard to see any reason for embellishing them. If you ask me, they’re one of the most perfect foods: nature’s candy! Whenever I do incorporate dates into recipes, however, I’m reminded of…

They’re a wonderful topping or snack, and they make excellent edible gifts, too! It was only a week ago that I was here chatting about vegan candied pecans. So you may be wondering, why candied walnuts, too? The honest answer is that, when I tested the candied nuts, I wasn’t sure which was going to work…
