Mushroom Piccata Pasta

11 New High-Fiber Dinners to Make This Month (1)

In this vegetarian rendition of chicken piccata, a medley of mixed mushrooms steps in as a substitute for chicken, maintaining the zesty caper-infused sauce. The combination of oyster, cremini and shiitake mushrooms adds the most flavor, though you can choose a single mushroom variety if you have a preference. Streamline your prep by opting for pre-sliced mushrooms, a timesaving hack for this flavorful dish.

Roasted Chickpea & Cauliflower Pitas with Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce

11 New High-Fiber Dinners to Make This Month (2)

Inspired by a trend made popular by Catherine Perez (@plantbasedrd), these pitas are piled high with roasted veggies for a satisfying vegetarian dinner. Be sure to dry the chickpeas well or they won’t crisp up in the oven. Wet chickpeas will also create steam that may prevent the cauliflower from getting nicely browned. Bibb lettuce works well with these pitas, but a handful of arugula leaves would be just as nice. If you have it, a garam masala or shawarma spice blend can be used in place of the spices.

This version features chickpeas, lentils, beef and noodles in a fragrant tomato broth, but there are endless variations on the soup.

Chicken Caesar Salad

11 New High-Fiber Dinners to Make This Month (5)

This timeless chicken Caesar salad features a zesty dressing made with Greek-style yogurt. Our dressing calls for anchovy paste, which adds that signature savory flavor Caesar salad is known for. Any leftover anchovy paste can be used to enhance vinaigrettes, dips or sauces. You can use whole anchovies, if you prefer, but you’ll need to blend them or mash them with the flat side of a large chef’s knife before adding them to the dressing.

Baked Feta & Tomato Chickpeas

11 New High-Fiber Dinners to Make This Month (6)

This simple baked feta casserole recipe turns cherry tomatoes, feta cheese and chickpeas into a hearty, protein-rich vegetarian meal. After baking, it creates a savory-sweet tomato–olive oil sauce ideal for slathering on pita bread. Feta cheese in brine melts more readily compared to dry, crumbled feta, so it’s worth seeking out. For a different take, replace the chickpeas with creamy white beans.

Za’atar, a Middle Eastern seasoning with dried herbs, sesame seeds and sumac, adds a bright, earthy taste. You can swap it out for chili powder for a slightly different flavor profile.

Slow-Cooker Three-Bean Chili Mac

11 New High-Fiber Dinners to Make This Month (9)

Chili meets mac and cheese in this fix-it-and-forget-it slow-cooker dinner. Hot tomato sauce, a Mexican canned tomato sauce that also includes spices and chiles for heat, kicks up the flavor. If you can’t find hot tomato sauce, regular canned tomato sauce with a tablespoon of chili powder mixed in is a good substitute. You can cook the pasta separately and add it in at the end of cooking, or use our alternative method and cook the pasta in the slow cooker with a few adjustments listed below.

Slow-Cooker Cauliflower & Chickpea Tikka Masala

11 New High-Fiber Dinners to Make This Month (11)

This slow-cooker tikka masala is an ideal set-and-forget option for anyone craving veggies and warm, cozy spices. A combination of garam masala, curry powder and cumin adds to the complex flavor. If you don’t have any garam masala on hand, you can swap it out for additional curry powder. We love how brown rice soaks up the sauce, but you could easily skip the rice and serve this with warm whole-wheat naan instead.
