This Greek chicken and potatoes is a one pan meal with marinated garlic and herb chicken and tender potatoes, all roasted to golden brown perfection. A super easy dinner for a busy weeknight.

Sheet-Pan Miso Chicken & Sweet Potatoes

This one-pan dinner is the only thing standing between you and ordering takeout (again). Luckily, I’ve whipped up a weeknight meal that’s hands-off, hassle-free, and brimming with bold flavor: sheet-pan miso chicken and sweet potatoes. Bone-in chicken thighs, sweet potatoes, and shallots get smothered with miso-chili sauce and baked until the sweet potatoes are tender […]

Triple-Oatmeal Cookies

  These buttery brown sugar cookies may be loaded with crunchy pecans and tart cranberries, but they’re all about the oats: rolled for the heartiness of a granola bar, steel-cut for a toothsome chew, and flour for a tender crumb. Pick up a bag of oat flour online or in stores, usually in the baking […]

Blistered Tomato Orecchiette Fresh Mozzarella

Tossed with olive oil, garlic and seasonings, cherry or grape tomatoes blister and soften in minutes under the intense heat of the broiler. We deglaze their caramelized juices with a little starchy pasta cooking water to create a simple, flavorful, no-simmer sauce for orecchiette. Chopped basil, grated Parmesan and fresh mozzarella are stirred in near […]

Cheese Crisped Pinto Bean Quesadillas

  These ooey-gooey quesadillas boast double the cheese—some is tucked inside the folded tortillas and the rest is sprinkled on the outside. As they toast in the oven, the outer layer of cheese melts and becomes deliciously crisp. Bonus: We cook quesadillas on a baking sheet to make a big batch all at once—no need […]

Lunch Lady Square Pizza

For many folks school lunches don’t bring up happy memories of eating good food. But, if your school experience was anything like ours then there were a few stand-out lunch items that really were very good, despite the bad reputation that school food has. One of our favorite school lunches was that rectangular pizza. It […]

One-Pan Mediterranean Shrimp

  Unlike other proteins that look anemic if not seared over direct heat, naturally vibrant pink shrimp are great candidates for the oven. Since shrimp cook so quickly, we jump-started the potatoes and fennel before sprinkling the Mediterranean-flavored shellfish over the top to finish in the oven. Briny kalamata olives and salty feta cheese gave […]

Garlicky Spiced Chicken and Potato Traybake with Pomegranate Molasses

This meal-in-one is our adaptation of a recipe in “The Palestinian Table” by Reem Kassis, which she prepared for us on a recent trip to Galilee. In lieu of seasoning the chicken and potatoes with the Kassis family’s nine-spice blend, we make a simpler mixture from a few select ground spices. And to make a […]

Wedding Chicken

“When I was getting married, I couldn’t think of a caterer I wanted to use,” says chef Naomi Pomeroy, Expatriate, Portland, OR, “and I didn’t want to ask my staff.” Her solution? Cook for her guests herself. She went with super-simple chicken, powered by a throw-together marinade.

Pour-in-the-Pan Pizza with Tomatoes and Mozzarella

Don’t forget to mist the baking sheet with cooking spray. The olive oil alone isn’t enough to prevent sticking; a coating of cooking spray is important to ensure the pizza releases easily. Don’t use fresh mozzarella; it contains too much moisture and will make the surface of the pizza soggy. Likewise, be sure to drain […]

Oven-Roasted Chicken Thighs

  More flavorful and less prone to overcooking than lean breasts, chicken thighs are a perfect weeknight dinner. The only problem is that the layer of fat underneath the skin that helps keep them moist during cooking often leads to flabby skin. To combat this, we cooked the thighs, skin side down, on a preheated […]

Sheet-Pan Gochujang Shrimp and Green Beans

Say hello to your broiler, that super-intense direct heat source in your oven that, like a grill, crisps food fast. While it heats, toss shrimp and green beans in a fiery sauce of gochujang (a Korean fermented chile paste), soy sauce, and honey, then broil for mere minutes. The shrimp and green beans emerge with […]

Whether you prefer the buttery richness of classic party mix or you’re on the sugarcoated puppy chow team, this recipe has you covered. Sweet from honey, savory from miso and nutritional yeast, and a touch spicy from chili powder—it’s the perfect crowd-pleasing snack. When choosing crackers, nuts, and cereal for the mix, be sure to […]

Grilled Trout with Savory Marinade

Trout and summer savory form an ideal marriage. Both are mild-mannered, so they blend beautifully, neither upstaging the other. Serve the dish with equally mellow vegetables, such as buttered green beans and grilled or roasted potatoes.
