What are lazy vegan recipes?
Lazy vegan recipes are perfect for when you’re too tired, short on time or ingredients, or when you just can’t be bothered to cook.
While it’s easy to make a meal from a meat-replacement product and some steamed vegetables, if you’re a vegan on a budget, eating these products regularly can get expensive.
And while vegan meal prep and preparing vegan freezer meals can help you save time, we’re not all good at planning ahead like that!
This collection of lazy vegan recipes will help you find something to eat when you’ve just come home after a long day and want something quick, simple and that won’t leave you with a bunch of dishes to do after.
The lazy vegan recipes in this collection are divided by type. If you need something super quick, check out the 15-minute meal section. If your fridge is looking bare, jump to the 5-ingredient or pantry staples sections. Don’t have a stove? I’ve included a no-cook vegan recipe section.
No matter what type of lazy you are, there’s sure to be some useful recipes here for you! Just use the table of contents at the top of the page to navigate around.
Lazy vegan ingredients to have on hand
Going to the supermarket can be a hassle sometimes, especially when you don’t even feel like cooking!
Keeping a selection of staple ingredients on hand are great for whipping up last-minute easy vegan pantry meals.
Canned foods: Beans and lentils are a vegan’s best friends. Canned tomato, vegetables, and soups will make your meal as easy as open and dump.
Frozen vegetables: A bag of frozen mixed vegetables can be used for soups, chili, curry or stir fry. They are just as, if not more, nutritious as fresh vegetables.
Pre-chopped veggies: These can be more expensive than chopping them yourself but can cut down on prep time considerably.
Soup stock: So-called kitchen sink soup, i.e. a soup made out of whatever you have in your fridge, is a great lazy vegan recipe. Keep some vegetable stock, either bottled or stock cubes on hand for a quick and comforting dinner.
Dry goods: Pasta, rice and a whole grain or two in your pantry will make the base of a hearty meal that will keep you full.
Simple condiments: A few of your favourite herbs, spices and seasonings for adding flavour. Garlic and onion powder if you don’t like chopping; smoked paprika, chili powder and curry powder are versatile. Soy sauce and hot sauce are simple ways to add lots of flavour.
