Slutty Vegan's One Night Stand Burger

ANDREW BUI

If you think that plant-based burgers can't rival meat-based ones, think again. Atlanta-based chain Slutty Vegan's One Night Stand Burger puts the argument to rest with this loaded burger. It's topped with all the fixings, including caramelized red onion, vegan bacon, melty vegan cheese, and a smoky chipotle-lime mayonnaise. 😍

Extra-Lemony Seitan Piccata

JOEL GOLDBERG

Some piccata sauces use only lemon juice, but we opt for whole pieces of the fruit for ultimate citrus flavor. After a simmer in a wine-and-broth Jacuzzi, the lemon loses its sharp bitterness and becomes sweet and tender. We dig it drizzled over plant-based, high-protein seitan.

If you’ve never made risotto because you didn’t want to stand at the stove stirring forever, then this recipe is for you. It packs all the satisfying flavor of the slow-stirred version, but comes together in a fraction of the time.

Cacio E Pepe

FOOD STYLING: BROOKE CAISON

Cacio e pepe literally translates to “cheese and pepper", two components of many a pasta dish. Unlike most though, in this pasta recipe, they take center stage—the result is a complex, earthy, sweet, and spicy pasta dish you won't soon forget.

Caramelized Tofu Lettuce Cups

ANDREW BUI

Sweet, sour, and salty, these lettuce cups are ripe for improvisation and can be served with all sorts of accompaniments. Crunchy raw vegetables like cucumbers, bell peppers, and carrots can add heft, and a drizzle of chili oil is a must for spice lovers.

28
Paella Verdura

EMILY HLAVAC GREEN

This veggie-packed paella comes together in under an hour, and, even better, most of the cooking happens in the oven. Briefly returning the skillet to the stovetop after baking is the key to achieving a crispy rice crust on the bottom, often referred to as socarrat (meaning “burnt” in Catalan).

29
Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes

We love a good twice-baked potato when we're craving something creamy, carb-y, and comforting. These twice-baked sweet taters boast all the same qualities, but are a tad healthier—the perfect vegetarian dinner!
