KISS: Maple/Mustard Glazed Potatoes w/Green Beans

  KISS: Keep It Super Simple! 

I know there is typically another "S" to that saying, but we don't need that negativity in our lives.

This is a brand new series in which I share super simple meal ideas; because we vegans tend to get so buried in complex recipes that we forget that a meal can simply consist of a starch/grain and a veggie and be perfectly satisfying.

I pair each of these meals with a simple side salad and that's it! As a recovering bulk meal creator, I was quite skeptical that these meals would be filling enough, but just try it, you'll be amazed.

Keep it Healthy!

 

Ingredients:

• Baby Yukon Potatoes
• Green Beans
• Maple Syrup
• Stone Ground Mustard
• Dried Onion
• Sea Salt

I like to steam-prep my Potatoes using the InstantPot for 1-2 minutes at the beginning of the week and then storing in the fridge for latter in the week. 

The I slice the Potatoes in half and mix with Maple Syrup & Mustard to coat and finish cooking in my Airfryer at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.

Meanwhile on the stove I heat through a can of Green Beans with the Dried Onion.

That's it! Plate & eat!
