Cutting back on refined oils might feel a little bit daunting at first, but it doesn’t have to be! These oil free vegan meals all have 10 ingredients or fewer.

Confession: I do not eat a low fat vegan diet, but I do try to limit oil in my cooking when possible. Recipes like these show that you can still make simple, flavorful dishes without drowning your plate in oil.

Oil free also doesn’t have to mean fat free or even low fat. A little bit of fat improves food’s texture and taste and helps you feel full. In fact, extremely low fat diets aren’t super healthy. If you want to read about hitting the right balance of dietary fat on a healthy vegan diet, I recommend this article from registered dietician, Ginny Messina. Oil free vegan food gets fat from healthy, whole food, plant-based sources like avocado, nuts and seeds.
