Prep Ahead of Time
Prepping ingredients in advance can save time during busy weeknights. Chop vegetables, soak beans, and marinate tofu or tempeh ahead of time to streamline the cooking process.
Utilize Convenience Foods
Incorporate pre-cut vegetables, canned beans, and frozen fruits into your recipes to cut down on prep time. Look for pre-made sauces and dressings to add flavor without the extra effort.
Invest in Time-Saving Kitchen Tools
Consider investing in a food processor, instant pot, or air fryer to expedite cooking processes. These tools can help with chopping, cooking grains, and preparing crispy snacks in a fraction of the time.
Batch Cooking and Freezing
Spend a day batch cooking meals and freezing individual portions for quick and easy meals throughout the week. This can save time and reduce the stress of cooking from scratch every day.
