Does anyone know any cheap and easy vegetarian recipes?

Does anyone know any cheap and easy vegetarian recipes? I’m a vegetarian. I’d like to mix up the food that I normally eat, and try something new, but I cant seem to find anything easy to make. I’m not that good at cooking, lol.

What kind of food do you cook now? There are so many vegetarian dishes it is hard to know where to start. I really like roasted root vegetable soup (pureed). I couldn’t really tell you specific ingredient size but at least it will be a good template to work from.

Assorted root vegetables/squash (potato, carrot, etc) peeled and quartered olive oil kosher salt black pepper 4 garlic cloves whole chopped fresh herbs (sage, basil, thyme whatever ya got generally works and I enjoy letting my cooking change each time I make something) cream (if vegan can sub coconut milk with a little curry and ginger and it tastes great) vegetable stock/broth

It really is pretty simple. Combine the first six ingredients (save some of the herbs to use at the end if you want) in mixing bowl coating vegetables/squash/garlic generously with olive oil, salt and pepper. Bake in oven on 425 until tender (30 minutes maybe depending on oven and veggies). From there simply put veggies in blender with stock and cream and puree seasoning to taste. In this process there is a lot of room for experimentation. You can add anything you want at the end to spice it up (ginger, curry, fresh herbs, etc.) and you can try adding some white wine into the process. As well as make it a completely vegan dish with some simple substitutions. You could probably even do it raw as well. Stores easily if you want to make it ahead of time and just add water if you want to thin it out and reheat.

Above, it isn’t vegan if it has cheese.

My fav recipie is Red Beans and Rice. This is a fancy version of the recipie that is good enough to serve to company.

1 lb dry small red beans 5 cups water 2 large or 4 small cubes of vegetarian boullion 1 to 1.5 cups of chopped celery 1 to 1.5 cups of chopped carots 1 to 1.5 cups of chopped onions garlic to taste (I use 1/2 tsp of diced garlic since I like it) some olive or other oil liquid smoke 1 15 oz can diced tomatoes 1 c. salsa salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

Soak small red beans overnight, then drain, rinse, and cook with 5 cups of water and boullion until nice and tender (I like to use a crock pot all day). remove some of the beans with a slotted spoon, mash them up, and then add them back to thicken broth to desired thickness.

In a large fry pan or Dutch oven (or any pan large enough if you have neigher) saute the veggies and garlic in a little oil until onions are transparent, then add beans with broth, tomatoes, salsa, salt and fresh ground pepper to taste and several shakes of liquid smoke. Bring to boil and simmer at least 20 minutes. While simmering cook the rice. Serve beans over rice. I usually make a double batch and freeze some in small containers for lunches.
