No, thanks I hate pretty things.

It’s likely that no one really prefers vegetables to say, chocolate cake. But have you considered that your veg rotation only feels boring because you aren’t branching out? (Broccoli. Sweet potatoes. Brussels sprouts. Repeat.) This week, broaden your produce horizons with seven recipes that star underrated greens, root veggies and alliums that deserve your attention. Think hearty pasta, soul-warming soup and even a dinner party-ready tart.

Broccolini (or baby broccoli) is beloved for its versatility and sweet, earthy flavor. Here, it’s paired with low-carb cauliflower rice and sweet-and-savory chicken thighs.

You only *think* you don’t like mushrooms. This 20-minute fettuccine is sure to change your mind. Since they’re cooked in ghee before being mixed in, they have tons of buttery flavor.

Don’t look now, but the chicken breast in your fridge is getting awfully jealous. Bitter, spicy (and gorgeous) radicchio makes this lightning-fast meal seem way fancier than it is.

Meet our new favorite twist on shakshuka. All this saucy, cheesy masterpiece needs is a hunk of crusty bread for dipping and a bottle of Chardonnay.

Don’t let winter end without whipping up this one-pot crowd-pleaser. Red cabbage is the secret to its stunning purple hue.

If you like kale, you’ll love collard greens. Here, they’re massaged with cabbage, salt and sugar for maximum tenderness. Then, they’re tossed with nuts, peaches, carrots and a simple vinaigrette.

Store-bought puff pastry always wards off our Sunday Scaries. If the weather is warm enough, serve this beet-crowned entrée alfresco.
