You NEED these High-Protein Vegan Sheet Pan Meals (Great Meal Prep!)

[@thebowandbullet]

I used to mainly use raw cashews to make creamy sauces, but cashews aren't cheap. I recently started using lima beans. They're just as creamy, possibly healthier, and high protein, but also a lot cheaper. I buy them dry, soak and pressure cook.

[@MerleONeal]

yum!!!

[@thebowandbullet]

@@MerleONeal And bonus: they're great at thickening sauces. 😋

[@barbarashirland9078]

Great tip. Thanks!

[@jgreen9361]

Cannellini beans can be made into a creamy sauce too. For recipes like veggie carbonara, they can make a more convincing cheese like sauce than lima (butter beans).

[@lewcifuh]

not only that but they’re unethical as hell and i’d hardly say they’re vegan. i wish more people would talk about it, especially in the vegan community. please look up “dailymail cashew” and click on the first article that pops up

[@MerleONeal]

Thanks for watching everyone!!! I hope you're treating yourself well and finding little ways to find joy wherever you can

[@Livv_it_is]

Does anyone else feel like this as well or am I the only one which feels like Merles videos are the soooo needed weekly theraphy session I am looking forward to each Tuesday?

[@MerleONeal]

that makes my heart happy 🥹

[@rachelhill8847]

Always love the high protein vegan recipes! I’d love to see some quick like 5-10 min high protein vegan snacks/recipes! ♥️♥️

[@MerleONeal]

Noted!

[@sophie7162]

I’m pretty sure this is your best recipe line up yet. It’s the first time I’ve made all the recipes in one week 🤩 keep the high protein recipes coming!

[@MerleONeal]

Wow, thank you! I agree in the sense that I absolutely made all of these again since releasing this - but way more satisfying to hear you say so!

[@kiddocter13]

Sheet pan and one pot meals for the win! My son and I are both looking to keep that vegan protein high, so keep that angle coming as well!

[@MerleONeal]

You got it!!

[@angelgraves9230]

Thank you for sharing these!! I’m jumping back into a plant based era and it’s so helpful to know the incredible recipes and creators that exist right now! I am stoked to try all of these! Also loved your shirt in this video 💜💓💜

[@charlottedods1139]

oh my god - roast gnocci with cherry tomatoes and whole garlic cloves (and olive oil and seasoning of choice ofc) then add rocket and a bit of basil and the end. easiest and yummiest dinner ever.

[@PhuongCao-rj3sf]

17:52 yesss, a healthy dose of consistency/continuity, thank u Merle

[@tammiepowell2818]

Yes, yes, yes! Have a cold and feel like sh*t so really don’t want to cook so perfect timing. Just made the gnocchi one and OMG this is definitely a keeper for me….had everything but leeks but subbed in onions, added miso into the sauce and I’m sure it added the complexity that you said you missed, a bit of Worcestershire sauce might also add that additional umph. Can’t wait to try the others. Thanks, Merle!

[@MerleONeal]

OMG I'm so happy you made the gnocchi!!!! I'm absolutely going to add miso next time.

[@oostin730]

Merle, absolutely SLAYING it in that Keith Haring-esque shirt today 💗💅

[@RottenlyMoodyChild]

Right? Exactly what I was thinking! Love the shirt 🙌

[@w_julia]

i was thinking the same! absolutely stunning, PLEASE I'm dying to know where the shirt is from 😍🥲

[@davidmcintosh7563]

As a non-vegan who is always on the look out for great meal ideas, I gotta say, those dishes all look amazing!

[@lindawinn2568]

Wow! All of these look incredible. And so many sauce tips and recipes. I can’t wait to try these. Thanks so much for your brilliant video.

[@katielouise210]

ahh what a gem of a video, merle!!! sheet pan recipes are the best, and such a mid week pick me up

[@MerleONeal]

Aw i'm so happy to hear it!

[@stereosympathy]

That last dish looks incredible. This is going on my "must make " list for sure! Thanks!

[@firepolish]

These are great! I'm not personally looking to cram more protein in everything but I find these meals super appealing just based on flavour, accessibility and overall nutrition.

[@Lilsalad666]

i was going to say... am i the only one not thinking about my protein intake these days? maybe i just don't work out enough (at all lol). I suppose since I'm just veg I don't need to worry so much about it.

[@MickieMuellerStudio]

Great recipes! I’m def going to try some of these. In the fajita recipe when you were chopping the onion it sounded like it was saying “chop, chop, chop!! Haha! So satisfying!

[@groovinmagic6290]

MEEERRRLLEE!!! Each one of these look A-MAZING!! Thank you for the video, I have saved it for later!!

[@michygoss7148]

You’re adorable! Recipes look amazing too, and a must try! I add miso to soooo many things and it’s always a winning ingredient. Would be great in that sauce.

[@franiafairchild3547]

The gnocchi recipe is amazing. Not being a full non-meat eating kinda gal, I added Amylu chicken meatballs. But, honestly- the silky tofu lemon sauce makes it next-level!! Well done, you 😊

[@MerleONeal]

YAYYY i'm so glad you like it!!!

[@deannaflores2353]

Great video. Can't wait to try the recipes. Would love more sheet pan recipes! Thanks for sharing your recipes!

You didn’t put how much vegetable stock for the last recipe. Making it now smells good Meryle :)

[@MerleONeal]

of course!! :D Enjoy

[@cynthiawhite4392]

I'm almost 70 and believe me, I love brussel sprouts,cauliflower, eggplant, etc. But my digestive system can no longer tolerate some veggies anymore, even beans! Now I'm following the plant paradox. It helps!

[@cmk1560]

I don’t know if there’s a difference in 425* in a regular oven and the oven you use, but 18 minutes in, I noticed the gnocchi was brown on top so I pulled it to check it. Was very brown on bottom, so stopped cooking. It was too far gone to soften with addition of veggies and sauce, so I tossed the gnocchi. The veggies and sauce were delicious though, so I’m going to cook up some cavatelli I have in the pantry and add that to leftover veggies and sauce. I’ll try again because I’m pretty sure it’s delicious!

[@lee35777]

I just recently learned I am mildly allergic to most foods that have been staples in my diet. Your video is the first I've seen that makes vegan look doable and delicious. I'm excited to try these recipes and will check back for more, especially for anything that adds protein. Thank you!

@@MerleONeal I made a modified version of the cauliflower dish, with cabbage, because it was cheaper, and soy joghurt instead of silken tofu, because it's hard to get here, and it was very very good as well! Thank you for the inspiration :)

[@seventhsip]

omfg that gnocchi recipe is TO DIE FOR! the cream sauce really makes it

[@seventhsip]

i didn’t need to add olive oil later for it to emulsify, i zested the lemon into it (which might be too overpowering for some), and i added some mushroom powder to the sauce

[@seventhsip]

do not add the juice and zest of a whole lemon unless you want heartburn 👍

[@iamKarma68]

Thanks for sharing your recipes. What is the brand of toaster oven you use?

[@cleonawallace376]

These look amazing! It's 11:40am here and I am wishing i'd watched it closer to lunchtime as now I'm starrrrving. I just sent the link to this video to my (omnivorous) husband, who does most of the cooking. He tries, but still doesn't really GET cooking without meat, and hopefully these could help.

[@almah222]

I started watching you back in the day when you were on "Tasty" and I've always liked your personality (shoutout to you from a fellow Libra 🤟) but I have to be honest I have never really wanted to try a recipe from your channel. 😅 Most of the times it's because I live in Italy and some of the ingredients you use are not really available here, but I have to say that this time I might try all of 3. I have a brand of fake chicken I really like and I think it would be perfect for the fajitas and I love the first combo of cauliflower, chickpeas, potatoes and tahini and I am so curious about the gnocchi and also love asparagus, leeks and peas, so all 3 sounded perfect for my taste! Keep up the awesome work Merle, much love from Italy 😊 ❤
