more recipes to go from our source top eight oil-free vegan healthy recipes with cooking instructions are you ready to keep going let’s do it okay up next we’ve got spicy tofu stir fry stir fries are always so quick and easy and you can pack in a ton ofg veggies right and you can totally do them oilfree this recipe actually has a cool technique to make the tofu crispy without oil I was wondering about that how do you get that crispy texture without oil so you need a good non-stick pan and you use a little vegetable broth to keep things from sticking first you got to press the tofu to get the extra water out then cut it up heat the pan Splash a broth and let that tofu Sizzle until it’s nice and brown makes sense what kind of veggies would go well in this the recipe uses bell peppers broccoli snap peas but honestly you could use whatever you like whatever is in season whatever you’ve got on hand mushrooms carrots bok choy even some greens M I love that and of course the sauce what makes the stir fry spicy so they use soy sauce ginger and garlic for the base and then you can add chili flakes or Sriracha to make it as spicy as you want and a Sprinkle of sesame seeds on top is always nice for sure okay last recipe black bean burgers I have to admit I’m always a little skeptical of bean burgers I know what you mean some of them can be kind of me but this one claims to be really good so what’s the secret it’s all about the ingredients and how you make them this recipe uses black beans oats and spices oats interesting what do those do they act like a binder you know to hold everything together and they give the burgers a nice slightly chewy texture plus they add a little bit of nuttiness which goes really well with the black beans I like it and what about the spices what kind of flavor are we talking this one uses cumin chili powder smoked Pepa so it’s got that warm Smoky flavor you could add cayenne pepper too if you want some heat I love how customizable these recipes are it’s like you’re really in charge of the flavor exactly so once you’ve got the black bean burger patties how do you cook them without oil couple options you can bake them if you want them softer M or you can cook them on a griddle just lightly greased for crisp beer burger and of course you can go crazy with toppings what are some of your favorites oh man so many choices avocado for some creaminess vegan cheese if you like that melty thing lettuce tomato onion pickles you could even make a vegan Chipotle mayo if you’re feeling fancy you’re making me hungry okay so we’ve talked

so we’ve covered the recipes but I think it’s important to talk about the bigger picture too why is oilfree cooking such a big thing what are the real benefits of ditching the oil yeah that’s a great question it’s easy to think of oil is healthy you know especially things like olive oil but at the end of the day it’s still pure fat that’s true I guess I don’t always think about that one tablespoon has about 120 calories wow that’s more than I thought but don’t we need some fat of course our bodies need healthy fats they’re important for so many things hormones cell function you name it right but it’s all about the typee of fat and a lot of the oils we use for cooking especially refined oils they have a lot of saturated and Omega 6 fats which we already get get way too much of in our diet so going oilfree isn’t just about cutting calories it’s about being smarter about the fats we eat exactly and here’s another thing when you take away the oil you have to get creative with other ways to build flavor that makes sense you have to find other ways to make food taste rich and delicious without relying on the oil it’s like a fun Challenge and you know what I found it makes you really appreciate the taste of Real Food when you’re not covering everything up with oil you start to notice all these subtle flavors in the ingredients themselves it’s like you ReDiscover food in a whole new way totally and remember you don’t have to go completely oilfree overnight you can start small maybe try one or two oilfree meals a week just to see how you like it that’s a great idea it’s all about finding what works for you right so we’ve talked about a lot today what are your biggest takeaways I think for me the biggest thing is realizing how flavorful and interesting oil-free cooking
