Even if you’re one of those people who truly love to cook, you simply don’t always have the time or energy to spend hours in the kitchen. When you’re pressed for time around meal o’clock and energy is low, these Lazy Vegan Recipes will come to the rescue! They’re my go-to easy meals when life is busy and I just don’t feel like spending much time in the kitchen.

Super quick prep times and off-hands preparation make these recipes lifesavers. I have a good mix of breakfast casseroles, make-ahead breakfasts, light lunches, and set-and-forget dinners. Most of these are one-pot or one-skillet meals so clean-up will also be lower.  Trust me, making any of these easier than pondering over that take-out menu!

These super-simple vegan meals can be prepped in 10-15 minutes, with minimal fuss.
