Tips for Success:
- Flavor Profile: This Easy Mediterranean Veggie Skillet is a skillet dish that tastes like garden fresh veggies lightly seasoned with Mediterranean spices and herbs that can be enjoyed year-round.
- Veggies: Make sure the veggies have reached the desired tenderness before moving from Step 2 to Step 3, largely dependent on how crisp or tender you prefer your veggies.
- Low-Fat Dish Expectations: This dish was designed to be low in fat. Because it is low in fat, you are not going to experience that endorphin rush associated with eating high-fat foods when eating this dish. It is very tasty for what it is, and that is a low-fat dish. We just want to make sure that our Readers recognize this when contemplating making this recipe. If you wish to make it more indulgent, add the Vegan Parmesan Cheese on individual servings. The vegan parmesan cheese totally takes it over the top.
- Grape Tomatoes (or cherry tomatoes): The tomatoes pretty much melt into the dish creating great flavor and moisture. If you prefer a more intact tomato, then add them at the same time as when you add the garlic and sauté until they reach the desired texture.
- Chickpeas Substitute: You can pretty much substitute with your favorite bean in this recipe.
Leftovers and Freezing:
Leftovers will generally keep 4 days in the refrigerator. Store in a covered container.
This dish can be frozen.
Pantry Products:
- Regular Chili Powder: Feel free to use your favorite chili powder, just be sure to select a mild one and not one that has a lot of heat to it.
- Vegetable Stock: We use Pacific Organic Low Sodium Vegetable Stock. We love this brand because it is Whole Food Plant Based compliant, as it does not contain MSG, has no oil, and does not contain any highly-processed ingredients. Feel free to use your favorite vegetable broth.
