Tearing tofu into craggy pieces and then roasting with a heap of spices until the edges turn crisp is the key to these intensely flavorful sandwiches.

Composed of four elements—vegetables, a grain, a protein, and a sauce—grain bowls like this one are simple, nutrient-dense, and very pretty to serve.

No tandoor oven? No problem. This recipe for chicken and vegetables marinated in yogurt and spices is cooked on a single sheet pan in a regular home oven.

This update of the classic corned beef dinner nixes boring, boiled sides in favor of extra-crispy roasted cabbage and potato wedges and a vibrant, seedy dressing.

Caramelized pineapple and sautéed shrimp get tossed in a sweet, sour, and spicy sauce with lots of fresh basil. We like it spooned over rice noodles and topped with cucumbers, onions, and peanuts, but it’s also great with any grain.

An overnight freeze solidifies classic brownie batter into something entirely different—a scoopable cookie dough that holds its shape when rolled and then transforms into soft, fudgy, cream cheese-filled cookies in the oven.

Fragrant sage combines with butter and Parmesan to create a luscious sauce, which complements the crunchy broccolini in this quick and easy pasta.

These are wonderful both as an appetizer when entertaining or as a main with a side of greens.
