Making these vegan chili-stuffed sweet potatoes is a quick route to a satisfying dinner. If you don’t have the time to bake the sweet potatoes (though their flavor and texture do benefit from the slow oven treatment), microwaving them is completely fine. Both options are presented here.

The bean chili in this recipe is super-easy, made with canned beans and tomatoes, a jar of salsa, and a couple of seasonings. You can choose between plant-based beefy ground or quinoa for the protein boost in addition to the beans.

Pasta with Asparagus, Arugula, & Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Here’s a simple, light pasta dish featuring two sprightly vegetables — asparagus and arugula. Thought this dish says “spring,” you can serve it all year round, since asparagus has become available throughout the seasons. Pasta with asparagus and arugula, embellished with sun-dried tomatoes, comes together in 30 minutes or less, making it an ideal weeknight meal.

Arugula is similar to spinach in the ways it can be used, though its flavor is more assertive. It can be interchanged with spinach in many dishes, like this one, or it can be used to replace part of the amount of spinach called for.
