50 Quick + Easy Vegetarian Dinners

Back in July, a reader asked me to do a round-up of easy vegetarian dinner recipes. I love when you guys give me ideas! And September seemed like the perfect month to schedule it. Summer is winding down and we're getting back to our normal routines; things like time management suddenly matter again. We want to eat homecooked meals, but we don't want to spend 2 hours in the kitchen every night. Especially now that the days are getting shorter!

Here are 50 quick and easy vegetarian dinners. All of these recipes take 30 minutes or less to make--and that includes prep time!
