KISS: Potatoes & Asparagus

   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/Bite-size Yukon Potatoes
  • Asparagus
  • Ranch Dressing
  • Salt

While meal prepping for the week, I use my InstantPot to steam the Potatoes for 1 minute, then place in the fridge until ready to eat late in the week.  When it's dinner time, I slice in half and air-fry, along with the Asparagus at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes.  Top Potatoes with Ranch dressing, Asparagus with Salt.

That's it! Plate & eat!
