Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 medium eggplants, sliced into 1/2 inch rounds
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups crushed tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Sprinkle salt on both sides of the eggplant slices and let them sit for 30 minutes to draw out moisture. Rinse and pat dry.
  3. Set up a breading station with flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and a mixture of breadcrumbs and Parmesan in a third bowl.
  4. Dredge each eggplant slice in flour, dip into the egg, and then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake the breaded eggplant slices for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
  6. While the eggplant is baking, prepare the tomato basil sauce. In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté garlic until fragrant.
  7. Add crushed tomatoes, sugar, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, then stir in fresh basil.
  8. To assemble, layer the crispy eggplant slices with the tomato basil sauce in between each layer. Serve hot, garnished with extra basil if desired.

Notes

Note: For extra richness, feel free to add mozzarella cheese between the layers of eggplant and sauce before baking.

For the crispiest results, make sure to salt the eggplant slices and let them sit for about 30 minutes to draw out excess moisture. This helps achieve that perfect crunch!

You can also substitute the Parmesan cheese with nutritional yeast for a vegan version. Additionally, feel free to add different herbs, such as oregano or thyme, to the sauce for extra flavor.

These stacks can be made ahead and stored in the fridge. Simply reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through to maintain their crispiness.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 pound chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 red onion, cut into wedges
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  4. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the veggies by tossing them with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  5. Thread the marinated chicken and veggies onto skewers, alternating between chicken and vegetables.
  6. Place skewers on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the veggies are tender.
  7. Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Tip: For added flavor, you can sprinkle some feta cheese or crumbled goat cheese on top of the veggie medley before serving.

For the best results, marinate the chicken for at least an hour or overnight for maximum flavor. If you’re short on time, even 30 minutes will work. You can easily substitute the veggies based on your preferences; bell peppers, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes are excellent choices.

To prevent the skewers from burning, soak wooden skewers in water for about 30 minutes before grilling. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or on the grill for a quick meal!

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 medium sweet potatoes, sliced into rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 lime, juiced
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss sweet potato slices with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Spread the sweet potato slices on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.
  4. Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and layer them on a serving platter.
  5. Sprinkle the black beans and corn over the sweet potato slices, followed by an even layer of shredded cheese.
  6. Return the platter to the oven for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. While the nachos are baking, prepare the avocado salsa by combining diced avocado, red onion, lime juice, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
  8. Once the cheese is melted, remove the nachos from the oven and top with the avocado salsa and chopped cilantro. Serve immediately.

Notes

Tip: For a healthier option, you can bake the sweet potatoes instead of frying them, and feel free to customize the toppings to your preference!

To ensure your sweet potato slices are crispy, make sure they are evenly cut and not overcrowded on the baking sheet. If you want to make this dish vegan, simply substitute the cheese with a dairy-free alternative.

For a spicier kick, consider adding jalapeños to the avocado salsa or topping the nachos with a drizzle of hot sauce. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to two days, but it’s best enjoyed fresh!

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 large bunch of kale
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika

FOR THE LEMON AIOLI

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Wash and dry the kale thoroughly, then remove the stems and tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the kale with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and paprika until well-coated.
  4. Spread the kale evenly on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the kale is crispy and the cheese is golden brown, keeping an eye to prevent burning.
  6. While the kale is baking, prepare the lemon aioli by mixing mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl until smooth.
  7. Once the kale bites are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving with the lemon aioli. Enjoy!

Notes

For a vegan option: Substitute the mayonnaise with a plant-based alternative and use nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan cheese.

For an extra kick, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the kale mixture before baking. If you don’t have fresh kale, you can substitute with baby spinach, though the texture will be different.

Leftover kale bites can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though they are best enjoyed fresh. To reheat, simply pop them back in the oven for a few minutes to regain their crispiness.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup frozen mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1 cup coconut milk (or any preferred milk)
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup milk (or non-dairy alternative)
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions

  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with butter or oil.

Notes

Tip: To make these pancakes even healthier, consider adding some chopped nuts or seeds to the batter.

For best results, use very ripe bananas to ensure maximum sweetness and flavor in your pancakes. If you prefer a vegan option, substitute the egg with a flaxseed meal mixed with water. To keep pancakes warm while you finish cooking, place them on a baking sheet in a warm oven (about 200°F).

Feel free to customize these pancakes by adding chocolate chips, nuts, or spices like cinnamon for extra flavor. They can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, and reheated in a toaster or microwave.
