Spice up your plant-based offerings with these 5 menu ideas
By Schiff's Food Service
Is your plant-based menu feeling dull? Spice things up with these 5 menu ideas featuring trending items!
1. Have you tried the newest craze in plant-based offerings? Corn “ribs” are trending! These are typically fresh corn on the cobs, cut lengthwise into quarters and then roasted and seasoned. Once baked, they curl and form the “ribs” shape. McCain has made it easy and done the work for you with V’DGZ CORN R’BZ, crispy sweet corn on the cob curls in a light hickory smoked batter.
Add a hint of flare with this menu idea for Elote Corn R’bz, a play on Mexican-style street corn. Get the recipe here.
2. Crunchy, fried cauliflower is a well-accepted plant-based substitute for a wing-bite. Try V’DGZ CAULI W’NGZ in Crispy Cauli W’ngz Tacos. Perfectly fried CAULI W’NGZ piled in flour tortillas with lots of toppings make for a delicious bite! Click here for the recipe.
3. The newest innovation from Beyond Meat is their plant-based seated steak tips, designed to look and taste just like real steak! Cooking in only 5 minutes, Beyond Steak is more than just a delicious plant-based option, it’s a time and labor-saving option. Try serving Beyond Steak in a simple but tasty Taco Salad. Get the recipe here.
4. Beyond Chicken Tenders are a staple for any plant-based menu as they are easy to prepare, versatile, and delicious to serve as is with some fries and dipping sauce.
Looking to elevate? Try this recipe for the Beyond Chicken Torta, a protein and flavor packed sandwich with Mexican roots. Click here for the recipe.
5. A cheese curd is more of a meat-free item than plant-based. However, it’s bite-sized, cheesy, and delicious, so we’re going to let that slide.
We know cheese curds are pretty perfect as is, but adding an extra layer of flavor will keep customers coming back for more and entice them to pay a little extra! Try this menu idea for Chili Lime Cheese Curds, with a hint of chili spice and the zip of fresh lime juice. Check them out here.
