Are you new to the world of gluten-free cooking? Don’t worry; we’ve got you covered! We know that getting started with gluten-free recipes can feel daunting, but with a little inspiration and simple ingredients, you can whip up the perfect dish in no time. Dive into our quick list of gluten-free meals and snacks (a bunch of them are vegan-friendly, too!)
1. Sicilian-Style Pizza
Looking for a gluten-free pizza that doesn’t fall short on taste? Oggi’s Siciliana pizza is our absolute favorite, and it only takes a few minutes to whip up. Inspired by Sicily’s traditional bignolati sausage bread, it’s packed with gooey vegan cheese and savory Beyond Sausage® Italian crumbles. Simply preheat your oven, pop in the pizza, and you’ll have a great meal in no time.
2. Veggie-Packed Tortellini Salad
Tortellini is a versatile ingredient that’s ultra-handy to keep in your pantry. You can use it in a soup, for a pasta dish, or in this case – in a salad. Just boil your gluten-free tortellini (our favorite is Oggi’s four-cheese flavor), then once they’re cool, toss them with a bunch of veggies like cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, and olives. Drizzle with any gluten-free dressing, and you’ve got yourself a refreshing pasta salad that’s quick to make and perfect for lunch.
3. Crispy Sweet Potato Fries
Craving a comforting side dish to pair with your meal? Try crispy sweet potato fries. All you need to do is slice the sweet potatoes into thin strips and season with olive oil, salt, rosemary and thyme. Then, bake in the oven at 425℉ until they’re golden brown – which is usually after about 20 minutes. Not only is this savory side gluten-free, but it’s also a healthy alternative to traditional potato fries.
4. Creamy Avo Toast
For a brunch-worthy breakfast or snack, opt for the cult-classic avocado toast. Start with your favorite gluten-free bread (we like quinoa and buckwheat), and top it with mashed avocado, a pinch of salt, pepper, and a dash of lemon juice. You can opt to add extra toppings like sliced tomatoes and nutritional yeast for added flavor. If you’re up for a kick, sprinkle red pepper flakes!
5. Sweet Berry Parfait
Craving dessert? A berry parfait is your go-to. Layer dairy-free yogurt with fresh berries and gluten-free granola for a decadent treat. It’s the ultimate way to satisfy your sweet tooth while sticking to your diet.
Whether you’re in the mood for a pizza night, a fresh pasta salad, or a snack that satisfies your cravings, keep this list close by for quick and simple recipes that make gluten-free cooking a breeze.
