Why You Should Always Marinate Your Plant-Based Proteins

Marinades are often used to flavor and tenderize meat, but plant-based proteins need love too. Whether you’re cooking indoors or outdoors, on a grill or on the stove, you should consider using a flavorful marinade on your proteins. Any food tastes better after it’s had a long soak in a flavorful combination of aromatics, seasonings, and other ingredients. Most food absorbs liquid which means all that flavor gets inside and can amp up the volume on any dish.
