Recipe: Sriracha Honey Roasted Green Beans 

These spicy roasted green beans look delicious, and they also cook up in a jiffy! A mere five ingredients—soy sauce, honey, Sriracha, sesame oil, and black pepper—get mixed together, tossed with green beans, and thrown into the oven for 8-12 minutes. I think I can handle that! (Though I’d probably throw in a few cloves of minced garlic right when they came out of the oven.)

This recipe, from the blog “Barefeet in the Kitchen” is already vegetarian and can easily be made vegan by swapping agave nectar (or similar) for the honey. If you’re looking to avoid gluten, feel free to substitute Bragg Liquid Aminos for the soy sauce, or look for raw coconut aminos if you’d rather it be gluten- AND soy-free.

Serve as a delightful side dish, or atop a bowl of brown rice/quinoa/etc. for a hearty vegetable entrée!

Recipe: Glazed Tofu with Fiery Sriracha Pearls 

If you’re not already checking out the divine vegan recipes and stunning photography on the Olives for Dinner blog, might I recommend you do so ASAP?

The latest and greatest is this Glazed Tofu with Sriracha Pearls recipe, made even cooler thanks to the molecular gastronomy fun you get to have with some simple spherification techniques! And yes, it’s all vegetarian- and vegan-friendly! Hooray!

As the blogess doth profess on her site:

“Here I’ve created sriracha pearls, which were then dropped into a viscous and sweet glaze over well-seared tofu cubes. Instead of producing an even heat level throughout, these pearls created tiny yet fiery pops of isolated heat in each bite.”

Sounds like a winner to me!
