When it comes to putting together a meal, we are equal parts driven by pleasure and health. In that spirit, we’re rounding out the decade with a collection of recipes that lived up (and then some) to that ideal this year.
BLACK BEAN PASTA WITH ALMOND ROMESCO
A Spanish-inspired, grain-free pasta dish. Our take is a cozy mainstay thanks to the creamy, smoky flavor and heavy-handed herbs.
SAVORY BLACK QUINOA MUFFINS WITH SPICY GOJI BUTTER
They check the “warm baked treat” box and are loaded with plant protein because of the superfood, quinoa. Then, a kiss of honey balances the smoky chili powder and verdant cilantro. It’s ideal sustenance first thing or as a midday snack.
We've rolled up three of our favorite superfoods—cacao nibs, flaxseed, and hemp seeds—into one sweet, doughy little nibble. The end result is a shareable ball that’s both addicting and unexpectedly healing.
A quick-fix lunch with heaps of sautéed mushrooms, a potent ginger-onion spread, and grounding maple-marinated tempeh.
ROASTED ARTICHOKE AND CARAMELIZED ONION GALETTE
A bed of roasted veggies folded into the flakiest bed of gluten-free crust makes this a savory winter staple.
