    Cabbage is a budget-friendly, versatile vegetable. In this recipe, a whole head of cabbage is sliced into thick “steaks” and roasted for a hearty side dish or vegetarian entree. These would also be great cooked on the grill. You could make a simple sauce of Greek yogurt and dill to top the steaks.

    Garlicky Ginger Eggplant

    How to Make Garlicky Ginger Eggplant

    This asian-inspired vegetable dish features eggplant, mushrooms, and bean sprouts in a garlic-ginger hoisin sauce. The recipe calls for Chinese or Japanese eggplant, which is long and skinny. If you can’t find Chinese eggplant, you can sub in regular eggplant and chop into 1-inch cubes. This could be a side dish or a vegetarian main dish. Add tofu or other plant-based protein source for a complete vegetarian meal.

    How to Make Spaghetti Squash Parmigiano

    Spaghetti squash is a winter squash with a unique stringy flesh that resembles spaghetti noodles. This recipe is a low carb side dish featuring classic Italian flavors but without the pasta! Spaghetti squash is also a lower potassium winter squash, making it a great addition to a kidney-friendly diet.
    Chef’s Tip: Microwaving the raw spaghetti squash before cutting in half makes it much easier to cut into.

    Beef and Broccoli over Zucchini Noodles

    How to Make Beef and Broccoli over Zucchini Noodles

    This lighter version of a Chinese takeout classic is packed with veggies and low in carbs. You can make “noodles” out of zucchini at home with a special “spiralizer” tool, or use a vegetable peel to create ribbons. Zucchini noodles are also available at many grocery stores now—check the freezer aisle by the vegetables, or in the produce section for fresh, packaged zucchini noodles. To make this dish gluten free, be sure to use gluten free soy sauce, and confirm that the corn starch and beef broth are gluten-free.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Fill a flat round cake pan with water. Place a
      clean, smooth (not fuzzy) kitchen towel on your work
      surface. Arrange the lettuce, tofu, carrots, cucumber,
      sprouts, and mint into individual piles on a plate.
    2. Put 1 rice paper in the water. Soak until pliable.
      Place the rice paper on top of the kitchen towel. Blot
      dry. The paper should be sticky, not slippery. Stack
      the ingredients as follows, one on top of the other on
      the side of the paper closest to you: 1 lettuce leaf,
      1 piece of tofu, some carrot, cucumber, sprouts, and
      2 mint leaves, one beside the other.
    3. Fold the side of the paper that is farthest from
      you over the filling tightly. Be careful not to tear it.
      Fold in the sides, and roll all the way to the end.
      Repeat this step with the remaining ingredients.

    How to Make Nicoise-Inspired Salad

    Low carb and packed with protein, this simpler version of Salade Nicoise relies on pantry staples, and can be eaten on it’s own or paired with another side for a more filling meal. You can sub ingredients for what you have on hand—use any kind of salad green instead of arugula; any kind of olive will work, or sub something like capers or feta cheese for the same savory, briny flavor; instead of tomatoes (or in addition!) you could use bell peppers, cucumber, sugar snap peas, or any other fresh vegetables. If you don’t have bottled dressing, you can make a simple vinaigrette with lemon juice, olive oil, and black pepper.

    How to Make Italian Tomato-Basil Soup

    This simple soup is a perfect companion to a grilled cheese sandwich or a fresh salad. But that’s not all you can do with it! Serve it on top of pasta as a homemade, no-sugar-added marinara sauce (add some garlic and crushed red pepper for extra kick) or serve it chilled for a refreshing summer side dish.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook while stirring occasionally until fully softened, about 8 minutes.
    2. Add the tomato purée, broth, and salt, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer, uncovered, until flavors are combined, about 5 minutes. (Hint: For a thinner soup, drizzle in more broth.) Stir in the basil and vinegar.
    3. Ladle into bowls. Serve hot or chilled.
