When you're tired after work, you often don't want to cook anything complicated - and that's when simple recipes can help!
Cooking in an oven is amazing, because you don't have to stir or check your food regularly.
Here are some ideas that you can use.
Roasted Chicken and Vegetables
Place chicken pieces (like drumsticks or thighs) and a variety of vegetables (such as carrots, potatoes, and broccoli) on a baking sheet.
Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs (like rosemary or thyme).
Roast in the oven until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Baked Salmon with Lemon and Dill
Lay salmon filets on a baking dish.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the salmon, sprinkle with dill, salt, and pepper.
Bake until the salmon is flaky and cooked to your liking.
Sheet Pan Fajitas
Toss sliced bell peppers, onions, and chicken or beef strips in a mixture of olive oil, chili powder, cumin, and paprika.
Spread them on a baking sheet and bake until the meat is cooked and the vegetables are tender.
Cheesy Baked Ziti
Cook ziti pasta and mix it with marinara sauce and ricotta cheese.
Transfer it to a baking dish, top with shredded mozzarella cheese, and bake until bubbly and golden.
Stuffed Bell Peppers
Cut the tops off bell peppers and remove the seeds and membranes.
Fill the peppers with a mixture of cooked ground meat, cooked rice, tomato sauce, and cheese.
Bake until the peppers are tender.
