Simply put, I’m looking to increase my overall vegetable intake and would like advice on best starter foods / recipes or recipe sources to help make the change more encouraging.
I distrust crowdsourced recipe websites (allrecipes for example) because 95% of the time the recipe is plain bad so, if I may be so bold, I would prefer ‘reputable’ sources.
Thanks in advance!
I’m glad you’re making healthier choices recently!
Plant Based News has a section for recipes.
Legit everything I make from Nora cooks has been good.

I would say that’s just a flaw of recipes in general. There’s so much variability in the ingredients, especially when it comes to whole foods, that you’ll rarely be able to just follow a recipe exactly and get what you intended.
I don’t know how experienced you are with cooking, so I’m not sure what kind of advice would be appropriate. Assuming you’re completely new, I would recommend just starting with roasting or boiling with oil and salt. I would say 90% of my vegetables are done this way. It’s extremely simple, which makes it great for most home cooked meals. It also greatly reduces the number of variables you need to tinker with to learn and get things right.

It’s not a lot of recipes, but they are designed to be able to be made while high or mentally exhausted from work.
