This savory and delicious Shakshuka is the perfect one-pan meal that is quick, easy and everyone will love it!
Originating from parts of North Africa and the Middle East, Shakshuka relies heavily on delicious spices and herbs to create deep flavors that pair wonderfully with the acidic tomatoes and sweet peppers.
Spice It Up
Simple Shakshuka really is a blank-canvas meal. The spicy and rich tomato sauce is the perfect base to add hearty leafy greens, chopped nuts, or sweet potatoes to. There isn’t a wrong answer when it comes to ingredients, so follow your heart (and your stomach) and get creative!
We love to serve our Simple Shakshuka with gluten-free bread, our favorite Jalepeño Cornbread, or fluffy quinoa.
Power Of Protein
Use whatever protein you enjoy to fit your unique eating habits.
If consuming animal proteins isn’t for you, such as the eggs used in this recipe, don’t worry! For a vegetarian option of this recipe just substitute the eggs with tofu, chickpeas, chopped almonds (or all three!) and follow the recipe below.

Leftovers?

It’s quick and easy to make, packed with healthy vitamins and nutrients, and stores perfectly in our favorite glass containers.
