Here’s What to Cook Every Night This Week (July 25 – 31)

We’re about two-thirds of the way through summer 2022. Odds are you’ve eaten more steaks, hot dogs, ribs and wings than you can count by now, so we’re mixing up this week’s menu with a few of our favorite vegetarian dishes that even carnivores can get behind. With pizza, tacos and veggie burgers on the agenda, we promise you won’t miss the meat.

Save the ground beef for next week. These shroom-and-cheese tacos only take 20 minutes to put together, plus they boast 21 grams of protein per serving. Bonus points for making your own guacamole (though store-bought is fine, too).

It only requires five ingredients, 20 minutes and one skillet—need we say more? Loaded with beet greens and shallots, the frittata is dairy-free as is, but a sprinkle of feta wouldn’t hurt.

This crispy, creamy main has “summer dinner party” written all over it. But don’t let its elegant looks fool you: It’s just the ticket for lazy hostesses. Serve each cheese-topped polenta slab over a bed of arugula or spinach.

Gluten-free cooks are well acquainted with cauliflower pizza crust, but how about making it with its cruciferous cousin, broccoli? It’s equally crispy and cheesy. Be sure to use fresh produce to top it instead of sauce, since it’ll turn the crust soggy.

Forget everything you think you know about veggie burgers. Despite the hockey puck-like handhelds you’ve tried in the past, they can be moist, tender and satisfying (especially when they’re crowned with smashed avocado and spicy mayo).

Also known as summer in a bowl, thanks to the sunny yellow tomatoes and juicy peaches. Pro tip: Prep the produce the night before so you can dump it all in the blender 10 minutes before dinnertime.
