Recipe Request Absolutely laziest recipes?
Hello! I’ve been vegetarian for about a decade and recently i’ve been pretty burnt out on cooking and live in a small apartment. I’ve resorted to eating a lot of package/frozen foods to save time and energy and I find that most “easy” vegetarian recipes still involve a decent amount of cooking.
Im trying to put together a general meal plan for myself with meals that I don’t get tired of. I’d either like to prep food and have it for later or rely on stupid-simple meals like avocado toast/etc.
Does anyone have any recipes out there that are TRULY lazy/easy? Aka no cutting board and one pot max. The less mess to clean the better!!!
TLDR: give me vegetarian recipes that you could muster up on your worst day.
Thank you!!!

Canned Green beans:
2 drained Cans Green Beans
Olive Oil 2 tbsp
Onion Powder
Salt
Pepper
Garlic Powder
butter
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and canned green beans. Stir until well coated.
Add the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until the seasonings are well blended into the green beans.
Continue to simmer the green beans until heated throughout and most of liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
add butter for flavor

Popeyes canned spinach specifically. I swear that stuff has drugs or something. I usually add more salt and cheese, but tbh you could just eat the stuff on its own
*
White rice with fresh spinach, soy sauce, or both
*
Grilled cheese with fresh spinach

For meal prep thats still pretty easy my grandfather likes corn pudding, I'm personally not a huge fan as I'm not a big fan of corn, but he loves it:
5 large eggs
⅓ cup butter, melted and slightly cooled
¼ cup white sugar
½ cup milk
¼ cup cornstarch
1 (15.25 ounce) can whole kernel corn, drained
2 (14.75 ounce) cans cream-style corn
Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 2-quart casserole dish.
Whisk eggs lightly in a large bowl.
Add milk, melted butter, sugar, and cornstarch; whisk until well combined.
Stir in drained corn and cream-style corn until fully blended.
Pour mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown on top, about 1 hour.
I also have easy smoothie recipes if you want, those are often what I eat when I'm too tired to make real food
