36 Easy and Unique Microgreens Recipes - Paperback & Hardcover

Growing microgreens but stuck using them as garnish? This cookbook transforms those tiny greens from decoration into the star ingredient across 36 creative recipes—from main dishes and sides to desserts you never imagined microgreens could enhance. Whether you're harvesting from a windowsill or a full growing operation, these recipes help you actually use what you grow.

Why This Cookbook Works

Beyond garnish: Most people grow microgreens, harvest them, then sprinkle a few on top of dishes and wonder what to do with the rest. This cookbook changes that. You'll discover how to incorporate microgreens into the actual cooking process—blending them into sauces, mixing them into batters, and using them as core ingredients rather than afterthoughts.

For all eaters, not just plant-based: Love meat? These recipes include plenty of chicken, ham, and other proteins. Vegetarian? There are meatless options too. Dessert lover? Yes, microgreens work in sweets (and you'll be surprised how well). This isn't a specialty diet cookbook—it's for anyone who grows microgreens and wants creative ways to use them.

Practical for home growers: If you're growing your own microgreens, you know the challenge: you harvest a tray and suddenly have more fresh greens than you can use as garnish. These recipes are designed specifically for home growers who need to actually consume their harvest, not just decorate plates with it.

Physical book benefits: Keep this cookbook right in your kitchen for easy reference while cooking. No screens to keep clean, no batteries to charge, no scrolling through recipes with flour-covered fingers. Just flip to the page you need and start cooking.

Simple & Creative 

While "easy" is in the title, these 36 recipes span a range of complexity. Some are genuinely quick weeknight additions. Others are more involved that showcase just how far you can push microgreens in creative cooking.

The mix is intentional: Quick recipes help you use your harvest regularly, while the more adventurous ones inspire you to experiment and discover flavor combinations you never imagined. Whether you have 15 minutes or an afternoon, you'll find recipes that fit your schedule and skill level.
