In this class, chef Nicki Sizemore shows you how to make five of her favorite plant-based dishes, from protein-packed grain bowls to a homestyle chili bake that’s as comforting as it is delicious (and nutritious!). Along the way, get Nicki’s timesaving tips for easy make-ahead meals and more.
Class Sessions
Sweet Pea Grain Bowls
13:33
Nicki begins by showing you how to make sweet pea grain bowls using her simple formula: grain + vegetable + protein + sauce = superpower meal. Start with a simple pea-and-mint pesto. Then spoon it over whole-grain brown rice, fresh snap peas, and a soft-boiled egg for extra protein.
Quick Falafel With Tahini Sauce
14:48
One of the biggest challenges of plant-based eating is creating meals that come together quickly without a ton of planning. Find out how to use a food processor to make quick pan-fried falafel served with a velvety, dairy-free tahini sauce. Nicki also shows you how to freeze the cooked falafel for an easy make-ahead meal.
Sweet Potato & Beet Veggie Burgers
8:52
Say goodbye to overly processed veggie burgers that look and taste like cardboard! In this lesson, Nicki prepares one of her family's favorite recipes: sweet potato beet burgers with homemade sriracha mayo. Yum!
Chickpea Waffles
7:44
Now bust out the waffle maker: it's time for dinner! Nicki's savory chickpea waffles are made with just four ingredients. Plus they're naturally gluten- and grain-free, and high in fiber and protein! For a complete meal, top them with sautéed greens, creamy yogurt and crispy chickpeas.
Chili Millet Bake
9:27
When you're eating plant-based meals, satisfying your cravings for real homestyle food can sometimes be a challenge. But don't worry! Nicki's veggie-packed chili comes together in just five minutes, but tastes like it simmered all day. It's the ultimate comfort food that just happens to be good for you.
