Whether you’re exhausted from a long day at work or you’re too busy to whip up a decent meal, here are 10 easy-to-make yet delicious one-pot recipes to pull you through.

Perfect Steel-Cut Oats

Breakfast for dinner, anyone? Oatmeal is a fast, delicious, and healthy weeknight dinner that can be customized to your liking. We like adding protein powder for a more balanced meal.


Sheet-Pan Chicken Fajitas

An oven is your best friend on weeknights. Just throw all of your ingredients into a pan and serve it on some corn tortillas.


Vietnamese Zucchini Noodle Bowl

A bowl of veggies is a solid dinner option. You can prep the veggies at the start of the week, so all you have to do is assemble it come dinnertime.


Italian Wedding Soup

Keep low-sodium broths in your pantry to use when you’re in a pinch. This Italian wedding soup is comforting, not too heavy, and easy to put together.


Salmon and Broccolini With Citrus-Chile Sauce

Salmon and veggies don’t have to be boring. Add endives, jalapeños, and grapefruit juice for extra flair.


Lemon Broccoli Pasta

Pasta is another time-tested weeknight favorite and with good reason. Plus, you can stock up on frozen peas and broccoli so you don’t have to worry about your veggies going bad.


Sheet Pan Tofu Stir Fry

There’s barely any cooking involved with this stir fry. If you’re feeling fancy, opt for soba noodles or flavored rice.


One-Pot Spicy Thai Noodle

While it’s tempting to just grab some takeout on your way home, it’s actually healthier and cheaper to make your favorite noodle dish yourself.


Roasted Sausages and Sweet Potato White Bean Stew

Two steps, six servings, and 15 minutes of prep time – you can have a week’s worth of dinner in under an hour!


One-Pot Red Lentil Chili

Chili is one of the easiest recipes to customize to your liking. Simply throw all of the ingredients into a pot, and dinner will be served in an hour.
