Normally for EatingWell’s annual Eat More Veg Challenge, we focus on how to fit more fresh vegetables into your diet. But it’s no secret that things are anything but normal right now. If you are eating less produce than usual with everything that’s going on, that’s perfectly OK. But there are ways to fit more vegetables onto your plate even if you’re limiting trips to the grocery store, including adding canned, frozen, jarred and long-lasting fresh produce to your meals. Here are 31 recipes to help you eat more vegetables this month.

Melting Potatoes

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

The name for these spuds hints at their creamy interior. Roasting these melting potatoes at high heat ensures they get crunchy on the outside. Then, adding a little broth at the end allows the potatoes to absorb the liquid, making the insides extra moist.

Our go-to trick for this crunchy, mustardy vegan side dish: Use a grill basket--it lets you cook all the things that would ordinarily fall through the grill grates, no skewering required. Pick one up from the hardware store or order one online for less than $15.

Serve this Asian salad with grilled steak, chicken or firm white fish like halibut. You can also double the recipe and bring it to your next potluck.

Grilled Spring Onions with Romesco Sauce

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

If you can find torpedo onions, try them in this healthy grilled recipe. These long, cylindrical purple onions, similar in flavor and texture to leeks, soften and caramelize to a sweet finish on the grill. You can find them at farmers' markets in spring or fall. Any spring onion or even 1-inch-thick slices of sweet onion make a good substitute.

Broccoli, Beef & Potato Hotdish

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

This easy casserole, full of ground beef, roasted broccoli and topped with hash browns, was inspired by the classic Minnesota Tater Tot hotdish. Roasting the broccoli before adding it to the casserole gives the whole dish a much more complex and exciting flavor, but it's by no means necessary. If you want to keep it simple, skip roasting the broccoli (Step 2) and use 6 cups frozen broccoli, thawed, in its place (omit 1 tablespoon oil, as well).
