A vegetarian diet is a healthy diet that has its own style and way of preparing meals. In this article, we collected 9 of the best Vegetarian recipes Easy to prepare.

Ragin’ Cajun Popcorn

Makes 8 to 10 cups

One of the best vegetarian recipes for kids. Adding spices to popcorn transforms it from ordinary snack food to party fare. I guarantee the Cajun seasoning in this recipe to wake up your taste buds, but why stop here? Experiment with other flavors, such as curry spices or jerk spice seasonings.

In a large saucepan, combine the oil and popcorn. Cover tightly and place over high heat, shaking the pan occasionally. Once popping begins, continue shaking the pan until the popping almost stops. Transfer the hot popcorn to a large bowl. Sprinkle with the spice mixture and mix well. Serve immediately.

Asian Vegetarian Mix

Makes about 11 cups

One of the vegetarian recipes Asian flavor. Wasabi peas, soy sauce, and the use of rice cereal give this party mix an Asian nuance. For more Asian flavor, use scissors to cut a sheet of nori into 1-inch strips and then cut those strips into thin matchstick-size strips. Just before serving, toss the prepared nori into the party mix.

6 cups popped popcorn

2 cups bite-size crisp rice breakfast cereal squares

Preheat the oven to 250°F. In a 9 x 13-inch baking pan, combine the popcorn, cereal, cashews, pretzels, and peas.

In a small saucepan, combine the margarine, soy sauce, garlic salt, and seasoned salt. Cook, stirring, over medium heat until margarine is melted, about 2 minutes. Pour over the popcorn mixture, stirring to mix well. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool completely before serving.

  • Olive oil or nonstick cooking spray.
  • Salt.

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly brush both sides of the tortillas with oil. Cut each tortilla into eighths and place the triangles on a baking sheet.

This crunchy high-protein snack is a nice change from nuts and chips. I sometimes toss a few in my salad, too. For a spicy version, sprinkle crushed red pepper or ground cayenne on the chickpeas.

  • 11⁄2 cups cooked or 1 (15.5-ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  • Salt.

Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a small bowl, combine the chickpeas and oil. Toss to coat. Spread the chickpeas in a 9 x 13-inch baking pan and sprinkle with salt to taste. Roast until the chickpeas are crisp and browned, about 30 minutes.

Cool completely before serving. These are best eaten on the day they are made but, once cooled, they can be covered and stored at room temperature for 2 to 3 days.

Fiery Pumpkin Seeds

Makes about 2 cups

Shelled pumpkin seeds, sometimes called pepitas, are available in Latin American groceries and natural food stores.

  • 1⁄2 teaspoon ground cumin.
  • 1⁄4 cup olive oil.
  • 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce.
  • 2 cups shelled pumpkin seeds (pepitas).
  • Salt.

Preheat the oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, combine the paprika and cumin. Whisk in the oil and Tabasco. Add the pumpkin seeds and toss to coat.

Personalized Trail Mix

Makes about 3 cups

The best part about making your own trail mix is that you get to decide what goes in it. Don’t like coconut? Leave it out. Want more cashews? Put them in. Brimming with nuts and fruit, it’s also a nutritious snack to keep on hand for children.

In a small skillet, toast the coconut over medium heat, stirring, until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside to cool.

In a large bowl, combine the cashews, almonds, chocolate chips, cranberries, pineapple, and sunflower seeds. Stir in the toasted coconut. Cool completely before serving. This is best when served on the same day that it is made.
