RICE-BASED CASSEROLES

These dump-and-bake casserole recipes use dry rice and canned beans for a simple, nourishing, and hearty main!

Salsa Verde White Bean Casserole // Southwestern Black Bean Casserole // Sweet Potato Rosemary Casserole
Chickpea & Rice Casserole // Buffalo Cauliflower & Chickpea Casserole // “Cheesy” Broccoli Rice Casserole
Spinach & Artichoke Casserole

PASTA-BASED CASSEROLES

In these recipes dry pasta simmers in the oven along with veggies and a sauce, leaving you with a perfectly seasoned meal. You can use either gluten-free and wheat-based pasta in these recipes; I like to use a chickpea-based pasta for an extra boost of plant protein.
