Add these products to your plant-based recipes this holiday season!
Here comes the holiday season! Moreover, here comes the vegan holiday cooking. Whether you’re tasked with a full meal or a dish to pass, vegan holiday cooking is no easy feat. Not only do we want to provide nutrient-rich choices for our family, friends, and guests, but we want to show off how good plant-based cooking can really be.
This year, let’s make a plan to be intentional with our recipes. So, when it comes to selecting ingredients, we’re choosing products that pack a rich depth of flavor. But don’t worry, we aren’t advocating for completely reinventing the wheel. Flavorful, umami-rich ingredients can simply enhance your go-to holiday classics. For seasonal inspo, check out our five secret ingredients for vegan holiday cooking and beyond.
5 Secret Ingredients for Vegan Holiday Cooking
1. Coconut Aminos: For umami-rich holiday stuffing, a dash of coconut aminos is our best-kept secret … until now. Don’t love coconut? No worries. This soy-free sauce won’t have your holiday feast resembling a piña colada. It simply adds a flavorful burst to your favorite dishes.
2. Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil: In charge of roasted vegetables this year? Impress the crowd with rich and flavorful roasted root veggies featuring local produce and organic extra virgin olive oil. High-quality olive oil from Greece not only adds great flavor but heart-healthy benefits as well.
3. Apple Cider Vinegar: Top-notch marinades, dressings, and sauces call for apple cider vinegar (ACV). Seriously, everything tastes better with a dash of this tangy tonic. Don’t be surprised when everyone wants to know your secret ingredient.
4. Nutritional Yeast: This year, we’re taking our mashed potatoes to the next level. A little vegan butter, non-dairy milk, and a dash of nutritional yeast will have everyone going back for seconds. This holiday staple has never tasted better.
5. Organic ACV Vinaigrette: Constructing a seasonal salad with kale, roasted squash, pomegranate jewels, and pumpkin seeds is our holiday go-to. Although this combination is mouthwatering on its own, it needs an elevated dressing. Organic ACV Vinaigrette FTW!
