    Oil-Free Vegan Recipes - Chorizo Queso

    Spicy Vegan Chorizo Queso

    You won't even believe this is an oil-free vegan queso! The chorizo is made with cauliflower, which is pretty dang awesome. I love Trader Joe's vegan chorizo but this cauliflower chorizo is muuuuuch healthier and so bomb in this queso!


    Roasted Cauliflower and Lentil Soup

    I love this low calorie soup after a particularly heavy food day like Thanksgiving or if we decide to eat out. It's so creamy and delicious you won't even realize there are only 154 calories per serving!


    Oil-Free Vegan Recipes - Air Fryer Fries

    Oil-Free Vegan Air Fryer Fries

    I wasn't kidding when I said I ate a lot potatoes. Sometimes I eat these air fryer fries for dinner with a little ketchup or queso. So satisfying but lower in calories - especially without the presence of any added fats!


    Oil-Free Vegan Recipes - Black Bean Burritos

    Vegan Black Bean Burrito with Wild Rice

    Burritos pretty much sustained me when I first went vegan. These burritos are full of SO MUCH healthy goodness! Sprouting Zen even has a recipe for an incredible oil-free sun-dried tomato wrap, or you can try to find some no oil tortillas at the store (Engine 2 has some great ones that I grab from Whole Foods!)


    Oil-Free Vegan Recipes - Green Bean Casserole

    Vegan Oil-Free Green Bean Casserole

    My readers LOVED this green bean casserole around the holiday times - and for good reason. It is BOMB. I even created a recipe for crispy onions so you guys could avoid those super processed french fried onions. This oil-free vegan recipe will impressed everyone at the table because it still tastes like comfort food!


    Oil-Free Vegan Recipes - Enchilada Casserole

    Roasted Vegetable Enchilada Casserole

    Keeping with casserole theme, let's go southwest with some vegan enchilada casserole! This is like a quicker, but equally delicious, alternative to traditional enchiladas and I am SO DOWN FOR IT.

    Oil-Free Vegan Recipes - Spinach and Artichoke Dip

    Spinach and Artichoke Dip

    Spinach and Artichoke Dip was one of my favorite appetizers as a non-vegan. Of course, now that I know better, it's off the table. Just kidding - you can make incredible VEGAN spinach and artichoke dip right at home!


    Oil-Free Vegan Recipes - Detox Soup

    Oil-Free Cleansing Detox Soup

    This soup is pretty much the healthiest thing I've ever had on my menu. Shannon from The Glowing Fridge includes a bunch of herbs and veggies that will have you feeling excellent - and it's also just a super tasty soup.


    Oil-Free Vegan Recipes - Potato Protein Burger

    Potato Vegan Protein Burgers

    If you ever want to bake anything without oil and want to avoid having to scrub a pan for 6 hours, just use parchment paper! No stick, no mess, no added processed fats - win, win, win. That's how these vegan burgers are cooked and guys, they're super healthy and yummy.


    Oil-Free Vegan Recipes - Green Tofu Scramble

    Green Tofu Scramble

    I remember having a Dr. Seuss/Green Eggs and Ham celebration at school. Of course, back then I LOVED eggs and ham. It's not on the menu for me anymore - and seriously, now that I think about it, artificially dyed eggs is just weird. Plant Crush came up with this really awesome and creative healthy way to make green tofu scramble!


    Oil-Free Vegan Recipes - Breakfast Hash

    Oil-Free Vegan Breakfast Hash

    Serve that tofu scramble above alongside this vegan breakfast hash and you'll have a feast!

    Can we stop for a second and admire how GORGEOUS this gnocchi dish is? It's served with a creamy tahini parsley sauce. Such a delicious combo of flavors.


    Air Fryer Breaded Cauliflower Tacos

    These tacos are seriously out of this world and the cauliflower comes out perfectly crispy in an air fryer. Top with cabbage, jalapeños and an amazing chili lime cream sauce for a huge kick of flavor!

    Carrot Cake Baked Oatmeal

    Classic dessert turned into a healthy breakfast recipe, this carrot cake baked oatmeal is perfect for a weekend morning. Some breakfast oil-free vegan recipes can be BLAH, but this one is a little indulgent and a LOT delicious.
