This satisfying vegetarian stew is ready in about an hour—and more than half that time is hands-off. Opting for canned beans instead of dried put this recipe on the fast-track, and velvety, earthy sweet potatoes, nutty quinoa, and smoky chipotle peppers provided complexity and depth without the need for an all-day simmer. 

You may not have considered cucumbers for a vegetable sauté, but these will change your mind.

Honey glazes this simple side dish of roasted sweet potatoes, carrots, and parsnips with sweetness and sheen. Walnut halves and thyme sprigs roast along with the vegetables for additional fall flavor.

The skins from stone fruit will contribute color and flavor to the jam. But for a smoother mixture, you can start by peeling peaches or nectarines: Carve an X in the bottom of each and plunge them into boiling water for 30 seconds, then transfer them to an ice-water bath to stop the cooking; the skins will slip off. For plums, just lift the skins out of the cooked jam with a fork.

Almond butter and hemp seeds transform the humble banana into a next-level healthy snack.

These easy weeknight pies are full of surprises. Grill a bushel of produce—mushrooms, zucchini, red onion, and kale—and pile them onto rounds of store-bought flatbread. Sprinkle on blue cheese and mozzarella to bring a mix of funk and gooeyness. Then, since we've already bucked tradition, skip the marinara and drizzle your pizzas with a simple mustard vinaigrette instead. It offsets the rich cheeses and unites the vegetables into bites so satisfying, no one will notice you're having salad for dinner.

This classic potato dish is always on everyone's favorites list for a Thanksgiving side.
