30-minute vegetarian meal plan | Good Food

No meat, no fuss, no long evenings at the hob. This month’s vegetarian meal plan proves that plant-based weeknight cooking can be fast, filling and genuinely good for you, with every recipe on the table in 30 minutes or less, designed for two.

These recipes have been carefully selected by our editors to show just how much variety a vegetarian week can hold. Bold global flavours do the heavy lifting: satay sauce, chipotle paste and crispy chilli garlic oil bring depth and punch without overcomplicating things. Chickpeas, tofu and halloumi are your protein across the week, keeping your shop focused and your portions satisfying.

In this meal plan, you’ll tuck into golden vegan kebabs, silky spaghetti with kale and crispy garlic oil, creamy satay tofu bowls, a spiced halloumi and pineapple burger with zingy slaw, and smoky chipotle chickpeas with aubergine and warm pitta. The chickpeas recipe serves four, so save the second half in an airtight container in the fridge: it keeps well for two to three days and makes a brilliant ready-made lunch.

To keep things simple, use the in-app shopping list to add ingredients from each recipe, then check the My Good Food tab for one clear, organised list before you shop.
