It’s finally a New Year and like many of you, we all need a restart, and perhaps that includes taking a re-look at your gluten intake. Because, well, why not if you can make it taste good and feel good? We’ve done the leg work for you and rounded up the best no-fuss gluten-free recipes to try this week. Enjoy!
Crispy Rice Paper Dumplings with Brisket
Using rice paper in place of traditional dumpling dough makes for a larger, healthier, and, most importantly, gluten-free alternative. Experiment with different dipping sauces, like a sweet-and-sour base, to create a personalized snack.
Pot Sticker Stir-Fry
Nom Nom Paleo‘s pot sticker stir-fry (aka Egg Roll in a Bowl) is both simple and family-friendly. Bonus points: It’s a healthy Whole30 or keto-friendly dinner!
Gluten-Free Meatloaf
No-fail gluten-free meatloaf from Gluten-Free Palate is easy to make, packed with flavor, and comforting any night of the week. This recipe is also dairy-free and nut-free.
Cacio e Pepe Spaghetti Squash Boats
This recipe from MyFitnessPal has all of the cheese and sharp peppery notes of your favorite cacio e pepe pasta. Spaghetti squash shreds nicely to resemble a thin noodle, so you get the added nutritional benefits without the carbs. The key to this dish’s flavor is the freshly ground black pepper, so don’t skip this step.
Cod en Papillote with Blood Orange and Fennel
Cooking en papillote is a no-fuss, simple way to prepare fish that doesn’t make a mess out of your kitchen. In this Goodtaste recipe, we use cod, blood orange, and fennel with salty olives and capers for an aromatic dish that will transport you right to the French coast. Serve with rice pilaf, steamed couscous, or a green salad, to keep it light.
Chicken Meatball Lettuce Wraps
Take a page from the Taco Tuesday book and set up a build-your-own lettuce wrap bar for dinner tonight. Crisp lettuce cups, steamed rice, toppings galore, and super-simple baked meatballs make for an easy and good-for-everyone meal that comes together in under 45 minutes. The secret to these healthy meatballs is using ground dark meat chicken instead of white, which helps them stay extra-moist in the oven. A zesty nuoc cham, a Vietnamese dressing of fresh lime juice and savory fish sauce, is used to both flavor the meatballs and drizzle over the lettuce wraps.
