Are you among the 5% of Americans who identifies as vegetarian? Or are you simply interested in adding a few delicious vegetarian recipe options to your weekly meal plan?

Either way, it’s easy to get stuck in a rut cooking vegetarian dinners. If you’re looking for some unique and healthy dinner ideas, you’ve come to the right place.

Here are some fresh ideas for the best vegetarian meals!

1. Green Goddess Harvest Bowl

For a vegetarian meal that’s bursting with flavor and nutrition, try out this tasty harvest grain bowl. It’s a cinch to make with pre-cooked lentils or quinoa — no cooking required!

Pair it with some roasted asparagus or carrots (or any other leftover veggies you have on hand). Tie it all together with a delicious sauce made with garlic, cilantro, mint, and serrano peppers.

2. Cassava Flour Pancakes

Have you discovered delicious cassava flour yet? If not, do a little research on the nutritional information on cassava and you’ll be rushing to your nearest health food store to buy a bag.

One of our favorite recipes combines cassava flour with nut butter and almond milk. Stir in some mashed bananas or whole blueberries if you want and whip the mixture into fluffy little pancakes. Finish with a drizzle of maple syrup and you’ve got a tasty breakfast (or dinner) option.

3. Sweet Potato & Black Bean Chili

Who says chili has to have meat? This hearty vegetarian chili is so tasty and satisfying, you won’t even miss the meat.

Cut up sweet potatoes into bite-sized chunks and combine them with black beans, carrots, onion, tomatoes, and bell peppers. Stir in your favorite Tex-Mex spices or even a little bit of cayenne pepper. Finish with some fresh cilantro and a dash of sour cream — delish!

Packed with 20 grams of protein per serving, you may never crave old-fashioned beef chili again.

4. Eggplant Rollatini

You don’t have to visit your nearest Italian restaurant to enjoy this classic favorite. Instead, gather the ingredients you’ll need for this easy-to-make eggplant rollatini.

It’s similar to eggplant parmesan, but the slices are thinner, stuffed with ricotta cheese, and then rolled up and topped with delicious red sauce. You’ll pre-fry the eggplant for a few minutes on the stove before smothering them in cheese and sauce and finishing them in the oven.

5. Portabella Mushroom Burgers

Burgers aren’t usually the first thing that shows up when you search for healthy dinner ideas. But when you swap out that greasy beef patty for a delicious portabella mushroom, that changes everything.

Top yours with blue cheese, mozzarella, or even grilled halloumi. For an extra satisfying meal, pair your Portabella burger with some homemade potato wedges. Yum!
