I really love to cook, but coming up with two vegetables a night gets to be a drag. Sometimes I just feel burned out by vegetables. Giving myself permission to come up with different no pot vegetables has made it all more interesting lately though. Last night I put together this bright and tasty veggie dish that we loved:
1 small zucchini, thinly sliced
1/2 cup bean sprouts
1 tbsp chopped parsley
7 drops sesame oil
3/4 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
Five ingredients in an easy no mess parchment paper packet! I put it all on the parchment then tossed with my hands. I folded it up and baked at 400 for about 15 minutes. It had tons of great flavor and was something completely different (no more carrots and peas, please!). This was enough for two adults. Mr. NoPot even had seconds (which you don’t see him doing with veggies – ever!).

What a cool idea. I’m wondering if Thai basil would be a good fit instead of the parsley?
I love this – what else do you have along these lines? I’d prepare something like this several nights a week!
Sure. Lots of way to mix this up I think.
It’s kind of like stir-fry with no pan, isn’t it? I’ll be posting more like this, so stay tuned! There’s a great shredded carrot recipe here: https://puttingitallonthetable.com/index.php/2010/11/17/honey-dill-carrots/
Not so sure about zucchini or bean sprouts but I am amazed by how many things you can cook without using a pot!
It is endless, really!
Not a big zucchini-bean sprout fan…but it’s interesting to see how many things can be cooked in parchment. I wonder about eggplant…string beans…two veggies I love to prepare Asian-style.
Yes, definitely. I hate eggplant, but a recipe for green beans will be coming along soon.
I will have to make this once zucchini comes back into season! A great summer dish.
