Meatless Dinner Ideas For Picky Eaters
Cooking meatless dinners can be challenging, especially when you have picky eaters at the table. However, it doesn't have to be a struggle! With just a few simple ingredients and a bit of creativity, you can make delicious meatless meals that your family will love. Let's explore some of the best ideas for tasty plant-based dinners that even picky eaters will enjoy.
Veggie Burgers
Veggie burgers are a great way to get picky eaters interested in plant-based meals. Look for veggie burgers made with black beans, lentils, or quinoa for added protein and fiber. You can also use mushrooms or carrots as a base instead of beans or grains. Top the burger with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and your favorite condiments like ketchup or mustard. Serve it on a bun or wrap it in lettuce or collard greens for an easy meal
Tofu Scramble
Tofu scramble is another easy meatless dinner option that kids will love. Start by pressing extra-firm tofu to remove any excess moisture and then cut it into cubes. Heat some oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and add the tofu cubes to the pan. Add any vegetables you have on hand—like mushrooms, bell peppers, onions—and season with garlic powder, turmeric, and other spices of your choice. Once everything is cooked through, serve it with toast or tortillas and some hot sauce if desired!
Pasta Primavera
Pasta primavera is an Italian classic that gets a nutritious twist when made with plant-based ingredients! Start by cooking whole wheat pasta according to package instructions; drain once al dente (slightly undercooked). Meanwhile sauté some vegetables like broccoli, mushrooms and spinach in olive oil until lightly browned; season with salt and pepper to taste. Once everything is cooked through combine the pasta and veggies together in the same pot; add fresh herbs like basil or parsley if desired; top with vegan parmesan cheese if desired and enjoy!
Meatless dinners don't have to be boring! With just a few simple ingredients you can create delicious meals that even picky eaters will enjoy. Try veggie burgers topped with all your favorite fixings for an easy weeknight meal; try tofu scramble for breakfast-for-dinner night; or make pasta primavera packed with nutritious veggies everyone will love! Whatever you choose, these recipes are sure to be crowd pleasers - so get cooking!
