Happy Monday, my friends!!! I’m popping in for a quickie today — a recipe I make all of the time and comes together in minutes!

My Sunflower Seed Butter Sauce Veggie Stir Fry…

Throwing a delicious and nutritious dinner together in minutes does not have to be hard! I get home from work around 7-730ish and the LAST thing I often want to do is spend more than 30 minutes — or even 15 sometimes — putting dinner together. ((yup, and that’s ME who loves to cook!!))

My make-ahead secret? Prepping LOADS of veggies at the beginning of the week. I kid you not, it saves SO much time!

My fridge is FULL of veggies — and maybe yours is too — but the secret to actually eating them is preparing them ahead of time. Yes, even something that cooks quickly like veggies, it’s advantageous to chop, slice and dice, and par-cook (or cook halfway through) ahead of time.

I mean, do you want to start chopping and roasting and prepping when you’re HANGRY after work?

Didn’t think so.

My other go-to tip? Using frozen veggies! If you don’t have time to go food shopping, always keeping frozen veggies in your freezer is a serious game changer. I thaw the frozen veggies in the fridge during the day so they’re ready to simply reheat by the time I get home from work.

So how do I jazz up frozen veggies with jazz hands?! Sunflower Seed Butter Sauce! My nut-free “cold noodles,” VEGG-I-FIED…

Sunflower Seed Butter Sauce Veggie Stir Fry

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Yield: 2 servings

Serving Size: 1/2 recipe

Ingredients

• 1 bag frozen veggies (I used the “Chinese-style stir fry” blend from Cascadian Farm)
• 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons sunflower seed butter
• 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos
• Heaping 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• Heaping 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• Pinch of red chili flakes
• 1 teaspoon olive oil (or sesame oil)
• 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon warm water to thin (or more, as needed)

Instructions

1. Defrost bag of frozen veggies; You can either let the bag thaw in the refrigerator or follow the instructions on the bag and microwave to defrost quickly. Alternatively, you can use fresh or leftover lightly cooked veggies sauteed lightly in oil.
2. To make the sauce, combine the remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Mix to combine, slowly adding additional warm water to thin the sauce to your desired consistency.
3. Drizzle sauce over the veggies and toss to combine. Enjoy!
