About The Book

Popular budget-conscious and plant-based chef Toni Okamoto is back to make mealtime delicious, affordable, and easier than ever—with 100 vegan recipes for meal prep, one-pot and one-pan meals, make-ahead dishes, sheet pan suppers, and more.

When we’re crunched for time, cooking something healthy and tasty often falls off our to-do lists. But with a little planning (and some smart recipes), eating well can fit into even the busiest day. In this follow-up to her bestselling Plant-Based on a Budget, Toni Okamoto turns her attention to recipes that save you time and energy in the kitchen—and, of course, save you money, too!

In Plant-Based on a Budget Quick & Easy, Toni shares creative ways to cut down on active kitchen time without having to invest in a ton of expensive equipment or resort to pricey premade foods. If meal prep isn’t your jam, never fear; Toni offers so much more. Chapters focus on time-saving strategies like make-ahead breakfasts, one-pot or one-pan dishes, sheet pan makes and casseroles, 30-minute mains, and even simple snacks and desserts. Many recipes can be made oil-free, and Toni offers plenty of adaptations for your pressure cooker and air fryer. You’ll find dishes such as:

  • Freezer-Friendly Pancakes and Waffles

  • Spinach Alfredo

  • Tater Tot Casserole

  • Veggie-Packed Potato Leek Soup

  • Sheet Pan Ratatouille

  • Udon Noodles with Peanut Sauce

  • Mini Pizza Bagels
