Meat-Free Fridays? Try These Organic Veggie Substitutes

in Blog

Whether you’re kicking off Spring with meat-free Fridays for cultural reasons or simply testing the vegetarian diet waters, you’re probably on the hunt for filling, protein-packed recipes with simple, fresh organic ingredients. Of course, variety is the spice of life, so we’ve rounded up six completely plant-based main courses.

ORGANIC CAULIFLOWER ‘STEAKS’
Slice a cauliflower head into generous, steak-like portions, then grill for a char or bake to a golden crisp. This recipe from Well Planted will inspire your imagination to run wild with flavors and toppings – think agave, honey, pepper flakes, walnuts and lemon juice.

 

KUNG PAO ORGANIC BRUSSELS SPROUTS
A creative take on a comfort food classic, this homemade variation of Chinese takeout features nutrient-packed sprouts – not chicken – as flavorful centerpiece. Kate of Cookie and Kate also suggests allergen-free variations, so this recipe works for every health-conscious lifestyle.

 

VEGGIE BURGERS
According to viral blogger Minimalist Baker, veggie burgers may be delicious, but their fragile texture doesn’t always hold up well to a grill. These brown rice-based beauties are chock full of flavorful chopped onions and will surely be the hit of every Spring BBQ.

 

VEGETARIAN MINESTRONE
Spring weather remains unpredictable, so why not have a cold-weather favorite at the ready? The truth is, you can add almost any array of veggies to this hearty recipe, but we love Umami Girl’s combination of carrots, celery, zucchini and green beans.

 

ORGANIC STUFFED SWEET POTATOES
These stuffed sweet potatoes from Simple Vegan Blog taste as incredibly robust as they look. In true California fashion, we love topping ours off with avocado slices and creamy tahini.

 

ORGANIC ZUCCHINI PUTTANESCA
Speaking of substitutions, we can’t stop swapping zoodles for spaghetti noodles. This vegan puttanesca recipe  is sure to impress clean-eating Italian foodies!
