High-Protein Plant-Based Board

What's on the board

Amounts and prices for each item are in the book, or open the board in the Board Builder for amounts sized to your guest count.

Why it works

Every item here earns its place with protein: soybeans as edamame and tempeh, chickpeas as hummus, roasted chickpeas and crackers, and lupini beans, which are among the most protein-dense beans you can buy in a jar.

Protein-heavy food can taste heavy, so the board leans on salt, spice and crunch to keep it fun. Briny lupini, spiced chickpeas and crisp celery and peppers keep people coming back, and lemon and tahini tie the dips together.

Timeline

1. T–20 minSear the tempeh; thaw the edamame if frozen.
2. T–15 minDrain and rinse the lupini beans; cut the celery and peppers.
3. T–10 minFill bowls with the dips and drizzle the hummus with tahini.
4. T–5 minAdd the edamame, tempeh, lupini and chickpeas around the bowls.
5. T–0Fan the crackers; scatter the seeds; add lemon wedges.

The seven-step placement plan (what goes where, and why) is in the book.
