Meal Prep #2 – 5 Winter Dishes in 1 Hour

Yeeeeah, this is already the second meal prep! You absolutely loved the first one 🥹 So this will become a regular thing—let’s say at least once a month 😍 It’s quite a challenge to create and film because, well… I have to eat everything afterward! And I still need to keep creating other recipes at the same time, ahah. So I can’t do this every single week!

But I really love thinking through this concept: buying fewer ingredients, cooking in less time, BUT eating something different every day 🥰

This week, the two protein sources are tempeh and black beans. The two vegetables are sweet potatoes and broccoli. And the two grains are quinoa and rice. Even though these ingredients aren’t necessarily the cheapest, I actually spend less when cooking this way because I buy fewer things! It helps keep my fridge minimalist 😅

Here’s what we’ll be prepping during the meal prep: – A sheet pan of roasted sweet potatoes and tempeh – Steamed broccoli – A chili – A Green Goddess sauce – Cooked grains!

  • Preheat the oven to 205°C (400°F).
  • Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them. Arrange them on a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, and paprika. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cut the broccoli into small florets and steam them for 12 minutes.
  • Prepare the chili: peel and chop the onion. Heat a drizzle of oil in a pot and sauté the onion until softened. Add the black beans, corn, a bit of paprika, and chili flakes. Let it sizzle for a few minutes, then add the crushed tomatoes. Cover and simmer for 25 minutes.
  • Take the sweet potatoes out of the oven and push them to one side of the baking sheet. On the other side, add the torn tempeh pieces with soy sauce (or tamari or teriyaki sauce). Return to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes.
  • Cook the quinoa and rice separately in two pots of water.
  • In a blender, prepare the sauce: blend all the ingredients together, then transfer to a glass jar and set aside.
  • Everything’s ready! You can store everything in 6 separate containers: the quinoa, rice, chili, sweet potatoes, broccoli, and tempeh. Here’s how I assemble my plates!
  • Monday: Tempeh bowl with sweet potatoes, broccoli, quinoa, and Green Goddess sauce.
  • Tuesday: Enchiladas! Fill the 4 wheat or corn tortillas with chili and place them in a baking dish. Add a bit more chili on top and sprinkle with vegan shredded cheese. Bake for 15 minutes at 180°C (355°F).
  • Wednesday: Rice bowl with mesclun, tempeh, sweet potatoes, broccoli, and Green Goddess sauce.
  • Thursday: Classic chili served over rice with tortilla chips on the side!
  • Friday: Mexican soup! Combine the leftover chili and quinoa in a pot with 500 mL (2 cups) of water. Once it boils, serve in bowls with a dollop of soy sour cream!
