In my opinion, roasting vegetables is the easiest and tastiest way to cook them, however, sometimes you just need a different option. So whether you don't have a free oven or don't have a lot of time, Toasted Broccoli from Ellie Kreiger is a great alternative to roasting. The broccoli is quickly steamed in the microwave and then coated in a delicious bread crumb and spice mixture which adds tons of flavor and complexity to the dish. It's such an easy side dish that it almost feels like cheating.

Cauliflower Crust Pizza

Who would have imagined that cauliflower could be transformed into a healthier pizza alternative? In this genius recipe from LaurenConrad.com, cauliflower is turned into makeshift breadcrumbs and then shaped into the perfect petite pizza crust. You can top this versatile crust with just about anything but make sure that the toppings don't need to be cooked since they only get broiled for a few minutes. For my pizza, I used tomato sauce, roasted red peppers*, roasted portobello mushrooms, and parmesan cheese. Delicious!

Roasted Red Peppers

Roasted red pepper strips are an ideal ingredient to have on hand since they are so versatile and delicious. While you can easily find them at any grocery store, it's much cheaper to make roasted peppers at home. I discovered this surprisingly simple cooking method in Clean Eating magazine.

Roasted Red Peppers
Gluten Free

Ingredients--
Red Bell Peppers (as many as you want to make)

1. Preheat broiler to high heat and set oven rack so it is 6-8 inches from broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick spray.

2. Core and seed pepper(s). Cut peppers into quarters and place pieces skin side up on prepared baking sheet.

3. Broil peppers 10-12 minutes or until skins are blackened and bubbling. Immediately transfer peppers to a brown paper bag and roll down top of bag to seal. Alternatively, you can place peppers in a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap.

4. Let pepper steam in bag (or bowl) for ten minutes ( this will loosen the skin and make it easier to peel). Remove peppers from bag and use your hands to peel off blackened skin ( it's okay to leave some charred edges since they will just
add flavor).

5. Cut peppers into strips and use as desired.

Shrimp Fried Rice

There's no better way to use leftover rice than turn it into fried rice, which transforms a dull side dish into a tasty Asian delight. It's also a great dish to take advantage of cheaper frozen vegetables ( just be sure to dry them well after defrosting) or use whatever leftover fresh vegetables you have on hand. In my rice, I used a mix of fresh and frozen vegetables along with shrimp but feel free to switch up the ingredients. This recipe is pretty much guaranteed to be good no matter what you put in.

Shrimp Fried Rice
Gluten Free
Serves Four

Ingredients--
Rice--
2 tsp canola oil
1.5 cups frozen broccoli florets, defrosted
1 medium green bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1/2 cup carrots, thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup liquid egg substitute
1.5 cups cooked jasmine rice
1/2 cup frozen peas, defrosted
3/4 lb medium, cooked frozen shrimp, peeled and deveined
lime juice
Sauce--
2 tbsp + 2 tsp gluten free soy sauce
2 tbsp fish sauce
2 tsp brown sugar
black pepper


1. Rinse your hands in cold water (to prevent the rice from sticking to them) and knead the cold rice gently to separate the grains.

2. Set a nonstick pan over medium-high. Make sure all of your ingredients are chopped and within easy reach.

3. Once the pan is hot, swirl in oil and spray with nonstick spray.

4. Add the broccoli, bell pepper, and carrots. Stir-fry until the vegetables are crisp-tender (5-7 minutes). Respray the pan with nonstick spray, if necessary, then stir in the minced garlic. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

5. Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and pour egg into the opposite side. Stir egg until it is fully cooked, about 30 seconds, then mix into vegetables.

6. Add the rice to the pan and stir well than press the rice mixture into the bottom of the pan. Let fry for several minutes until it begins to turn golden brown on the bottom.

7. Use a spatula to flip the mixture over. Stir the rice than press the mixture into pan again. Cook 2-3 minutes more, or until golden on both sides.

8. While the rice is cooking, stir together the sauce ingredients (soy sauce, fish sauce, brown sugar, and pepper).

9. Add the sauce, peas, and cooked shrimp into the rice. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes more or until the shrimp are heated through.

10. Remove rice from heat and finish with a splash of lime juice before serving.

In this recipe inspired by Vegetarian Times, the chayote is paired with corn and lentils for a quick and tasty burrito filling.
