Healthy Oil-Free Vegan Recipes

For those trying to limit or avoid oil (like those on a whole food, plant based, or WFPB diet), there are SO many recipes here that are oil-free, but not lacking in flavor. Try this incredibly flavorful Lentil Keema, Instant Pot Mushroom Risotto, or even simple recipes like this 5-Minute Black Bean Dip or Kale Quinoa Salad.

Feel good about omitting the oil and not losing out on taste!
