50 Ridiculously Quick Vegetarian Dinners (20 minutes or less!)

I am lazy – super, super lazy. I absolutely love cooking, but most of the time you won’t find me in the kitchen for more than an hour at the time (and that’s only on special days). I think I just like sitting down too much.

So over the years I’ve come up with loads of quick vegetarian dinners that only take 20 minutes (or less!) to make – so you can get yourself in the kitchen, make a quick meal, and sit and eat it.

Ridiculously simple, just how cooking should be!

Here’s a collection of some of my favourite ridiculously quick vegetarian dinners that take a maximum of 20 minutes to make (assuming you don’t take ten minutes to chop an onion…).

You don’t even need to faff with loads of side dishes, as most of these recipes will work perfectly on their own! Enjoy!
