This hearty vegan broccoli and kale salad is topped with golden croutons and a velvety vegan Caesar dressing made with roasted garlic and cashews.

Broccoli and Kale Caesar Salad

stale bread (about 1/2 medium baguette)

olive oil, divided

Kosher salt

broccoli

garlic, unpeeled

kale

cannellini beans, drained and rinsed

parsley

sunflower seeds

low-sodium vegetable broth

capers

lemon juice

black pepper

Make the croutons and roast the broccoli: Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 400°F.

Cut the bread into 1/2-inch pieces. Place on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the oil, and season with salt. Spread into an even layer. Bake, stirring halfway through, until evenly browned on all sides, about 15 minutes total. Transfer to a medium bowl and set aside to cool.

Place the broccoli florets and unpeeled garlic cloves on the same baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 1/2 tablespoons of the oil, toss to combine, and spread into an even layer. Roast until the broccoli is just starting to turn golden-brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt and set aside.

Make the dressing: Squeeze out the garlic from their skins into a high-powered blender. Drain the water from the cashews and add to the blender. Add the broth or water, oil, capers, and lemon juice. Blend on high speed until very smooth (if it is too thick, blend in a few more splashes of water). Taste and season well with salt and pepper; set aside.

Assemble the salad: Place the kale, remaining 1 tablespoon of oil, and a big pinch of salt in a large bowl. Massage with your hands to soften the leaves, then let sit for 5 minutes. Add the roasted broccoli, cannellini beans, croutons, and parsley and toss to combine. Add the dressing and toss to combine. Sprinkle with the sunflower seeds.

Make this thick and silky French stew of eggplant, zucchini, sweet peppers, and ripe summer tomatoes before summer ends.

Easy French Ratatouille

olive oil, divided,

eggplant (1 large), large dice

zucchini squash

yellow onion, diced

garlic,

thyme

bay leaf

tomatoes (3 to 4 medium), large dice

large bell pepper, large dice

basil

Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the eggplant, season generously with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned in spots, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.

Add 2 tablespoons of the oil to the pot. Add the zucchini, season generously with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned in spots, about 2 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the eggplant.

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and just beginning to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the garlic, thyme, and bay leaf and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and bell peppers. Add the reserved eggplant and zucchini and gently stir to combine. 

Bring to a simmer, then turn down the heat to medium-low. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for at least 20 minutes or up to 1 1/2 hours. A shorter cooking time will leave the vegetables in larger, more distinct pieces; longer cooking times will break the vegetables down into a silky stew.

Remove the bay leaf and thyme sprigs. Just before serving, stir in the basil. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve, sprinkling each serving with more basil and drizzling with more olive oil.

This 20-minute pressure cooker pasta tastes just like baked ziti, but it&#x27;s ready in half the time.

Instant Pot "Baked" Ziti

Italian sausage,

water, divided

(22- marinara sauce

dried ziti or penne pasta

ricotta cheese

mozzarella cheese

Turn on an electric pressure cooker or Instant Pot to sauté. Once heated, add the olive oil, followed by the sausage. Break up the sausage into large pieces with a wooden spoon and season with the salt. Cook, stirring and breaking the sausage into smaller and smaller pieces, until cooked through and no longer pink, about 5 minutes. 

Turn the pressure cooker off. Add 1/2 cup of the water and scrape the bottom of the pot to loosen any browned bits. Add the marinara and stir to combine well. Scatter the pasta over the sauce-sausage mixture in an even layer. Do not stir from this point on. 

Rinse the pasta sauce jar with the remaining 1 1/2 cups water (pour the water into the jar, cover, and shake gently) and then pour the water over the pasta. Remember — no stirring here.

Seal the pressure cooker. Use the manual setting to set the pressure cooker to cook for 8 minutes under HIGH pressure. It will take 10 to 12 minutes to come up to pressure.

When the cook time is done, immediately do a quick release of the pressure. Turn the pressure cooker off. Open it, add the ricotta, and stir quickly to combine. Sprinkle with the mozzarella. Cover the pressure cooker again and let sit for 3 minutes for the cheese to melt and the sauce to thicken. Serve immediately. 

A weeknight-friendly sheet pan dinner of tender chicken, broccoli, potatoes, and red onion, tossed in a sweet and savory honey-Dijon glaze.

Sheet Pan Honey-Dijon Chicken and Vegetables

honey

Dijon mustard

whole-grain mustard

white wine vinegar

red potatoes, halved

chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

broccoli, cut into bite-sized florets

Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 425°F. Place a rimmed baking sheet in the oven while it is heating. 

Whisk the honey, Dijon, whole-grain mustard, vinegar, pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt in a small bowl; set aside.

Place the potatoes, 1 tablespoon of the oil, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt in a large bowl and toss to combine. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and arrange the potatoes in a single layer, cut-side down. Return to the oven and roast for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, place the chicken, broccoli, red onion, remaining 1 tablespoon oil and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in the same bowl and toss to combine.

Add the chicken, broccoli, and red onion to the baking sheet. Pour half the honey-Dijon mixture over the chicken and vegetables and toss to evenly coat them in the sauce. Spread the chicken and veggies into a single layer.

Roast for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, toss with the remaining honey-Dijon mixture, and spread back into an even layer. Roast until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes more. 

A recipe for quick and easy tomato orzo studded with chickpeas, which is made in just one pot.

One-Pot Tomato Chickpeas and Orzo

orzo pasta (about 2 1/2 cups)

(32 ounces) low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth

tomatoes

(15-ounce) cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed (about 3 cups total)

Parmesan cheese,

basil leaves

Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the onion and sauté until softened and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the orzo and garlic, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Stir in the broth, tomatoes, and chickpeas and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce to a simmer, and cook, stirring frequently so that the orzo doesn’t stick, until most of the liquid is absorbed and the pasta is al dente, about 10 minutes or according to package instructions. (If the pasta isn’t completely cooked at this point, add another splash or two of broth or water to the pot and continue to simmer until it has.) Stir in the Parmesan cheese. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with the chopped basil and additional grated cheese, if desired.

A frittata for your favorite summer produce. Or just the vegetables you forgot in the crisper. 

The Easiest Cheese and Vegetable Frittata 

red bell pepper, diced

sweet onion, chopped

zucchini,

baby spinach, kale, or arugula

basil leaves,

eggs

Parmesan cheese (1/2 ounce)

scallions,

goat cheese, crumbled

Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 400°F.

Heat the oil in a 10-inch cast iron or oven-safe nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the bell pepper, onion, and salt, and sauté until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add the zucchini, spinach, and basil, and cook until wilted, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Whisk the eggs, Parmesan, and pepper together in a medium bowl until the eggs are broken up. Pour into the skillet over the vegetables. Sprinkle with the scallions and goat cheese.

Bake until the eggs are almost set, about 8 minutes. Turn the oven on to broil on high and broil until the top is set and light golden-brown, about 2 minutes more. Let cool 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Juicy chicken breasts brushed with a sweet and tangy balsamic glaze, baked alongside crispy chunks of potatoes and tender onions and bell peppers.

Sheet Pan Balsamic Glazed Chicken and Potatoes

potatoes

black pepper, divided

balsamic vinegar

(4-inch) rosemary, divided

boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds total)

Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 400°F. 

Place the potatoes, onion, and bell pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with the oil, season with 1 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper, and toss to combine. Spread into an even layer, arranging the potatoes cut-side down close to the edges of the baking sheet.

Bake until the cut side of the potatoes is golden-brown, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the vinegar, honey, 1 garlic clove, and 1 sprig rosemary in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook until syrupy and reduced by half, about 7 minutes. Discard the rosemary and garlic.

Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Toss the vegetables and spread back into an even layer, leaving a space in the center of the baking sheet. Place the chicken in the center and season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Scatter the remaining garlic clove and rosemary sprigs over the chicken. Bake until a knife slides easily into the potatoes and the chicken is almost cooked through, registering 155°F on an instant read thermometer, 12 to 15 minutes.

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and turn the oven to broil. Brush the reduced marinade onto each chicken breast, then drizzle the rest over the vegetables. Broil until the chicken darkens slightly in color, is cooked, registering 165°F on an instant read thermometer, and appears glazed, about 3 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool 5 minutes. Serve the chicken, potatoes, and vegetables drizzled with the pan juices. 

A gorgeous pasta dish that&#x27;s easy to make. 

Beet Pesto Pasta

regular or gluten-free spaghetti

garlic

almonds

chives,

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente.

Meanwhile, place the garlic and almonds in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment and pulse until the almonds are a fine meal and the garlic is minced. Add the beets, olive oil, and vinegar and pulse until you have a smooth pesto-like sauce. Season to taste with kosher salt.

When the pasta is ready, toss with the pesto and season to taste with kosher salt. Serve hot. (If you want to serve the pasta at room temperature or chilled, rinse the pasta with cold water before tossing with the pesto.)

For moist and tender boneless, skinless breasts, turn to this staple Greek ingredient.

Feta-Brined Chicken Breast with Rosemary

water

feta cheese (about 1 cup crumbled)

chicken breasts (about 2 pounds total)

rosemary,

lemon

Crostini,

Combine the water, feta, salt, and pepper in a blender and blend until smooth.

Place the chicken breasts in a resealable plastic bag or container large enough to submerge the meat. Pour the brine over the chicken, cover, and refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.

Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 400°F. Meanwhile, remove the chicken breasts from the brine, pat dry with paper towels, and place in a single layer in a baking dish or on an aluminum foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Let sit for about 30 minutes at room temperature.

If you&#x27;d like, break off a few cloves of garlic from the head, peel, smash, and scatter around the chicken. Cut the top off the remaining garlic head to expose the cloves, cut in half horizontally, then place the 2 pieces in the pan. Sprinkle the rosemary sprigs over the chicken, then drizzle with the oil.

Roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the breasts reads 165°F, 35 to 45 minutes.

Remove the chicken breasts from the oven, squeeze the juice from the lemon half over the chicken, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their peels onto crostini, if desired.

Here's what you need: low-sodium chicken stock, olive oil, shallot, shiitake mushroom, unsalted butter, garlic, fresh thyme, salt, pepper, arborio rice, white wine, grated parmesan cheese, fresh parsley
