Build a vegetarian meal at the Farmers Market

Published on September 08, 2026

Don’t eat meat? No worries. Some of the best vegetarian meals start with what's fresh at the Lenexa Farmers Market. Pick up a few seasonal ingredients, add a pantry staple or two, and turn your market haul into a simple, satisfying meal.

Put it all together with these ideas using Farmers Market products:

• Potatoes and sweet potatoes — loaded baked potatoes with beans, cheese, salsa, or fresh herbs
• Beans and lentils — lentil soup, chili, grain or taco bowls
• Squash — roasted squash bowls or squash pasta
• Bell peppers — stuffed peppers or veggie fajitas 
• Eggplant — eggplant Parmesan, roasted eggplant bowls, baba ghanoush or ratatouille
• Tomatoes and herbs — fresh pasta, caprese salad, bruschetta, or salsa. 
• Greens and microgreens — salads, wraps, sandwiches, grain bowls
• Eggs and cheese — frittatas, quiche, omelets, quesadillas or veggie sandwiches
• Oats — baked oats for breakfast or savory oat bowls
• Breads — grilled veggie sandwiches, bruschetta or egg-and-cheese breakfast sandwiches
