Vegetarian Meal for Under 6 Bucks!

Baked Tomatoes, Squash, and Potatoes

By Sharon Ng

This is one delicious dish, and easy on the food budget! It is vegetarian and can please an array of diners. The recipe serves 8, which is great for being under 6 dollars! I loved the combination of tastes and textures, and it tastes so fresh. You could easily serve this as a side as well. The presentation is also gorgeous, and it is easy! Due to using non-processed foods, this might qualify for clean eating diets, it also contains no gluten. It is not vegan, due to the parmesan cheese, but if desired that could be cut out. I think it tastes better with it though. This recipe is not short on taste, but for those who need a kick, some cayenne could easily be added.

This is such a simple and easy recipe that I don't have many additional tips for you this time around. A mandolin that can be set to the necessary thickness might be helpful for the potatoes, onion and squash, and make prep work faster. My only other tip would have to be "try it, you'll love it"!
