7 Ways to Make a Healthy Veggie-Packed Dinner in 30 Minutes

If your focus come dinnertime is on the vegetables we’re with you. Even when it’s the end of the day and you want something fast. You can make a great veggie-based soup or sheet-pan veggie dish with easy clean up and in a matter of minutes. (We know the urge to go for takeout after a long day at the office, rather than wanting to work on an hour-long recipe!) It’s all a matter of having the right ideas.

Here are a couple of recipes that give you dinner high in veggies and in a short period of time—just 30 minutes tops!
