Green Beans with Miso Butter
This easy yet impressive veggie side dish came together in less than 10 minutes.

Topped off with a sprinkle of cilantro, they are gorgeous-looking to boot!
Balsamic Grilled Veggie & Goat Cheese Sandwiches
Using some of my favorite veggies marinated in jammy balsamic vinegar and olive oil, the grilled veggies are the star of this sandwich.

Umami Roasted Broccoli
My tried and true blasted broccoli is perfect as is, but when I tested out a new umami-forward combo, it truly rocked my world. Instead of dressing with olive oil, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes, I jazz up my broccoli with two umami flavor boosters: soy sauce and fish sauce.
Lemony Grilled Zucchini
This recipe is living proof that sometimes seasonal and simple is the only way to go. The key to ensuring perfectly cooked yet not slimy or soggy zucchini in the slightest is actually tossing the zucchini straight on your heat source sans seasonings or oil.
