There’s no denying it: we all love a “lazy” recipe. In a good way, of course. You know the one: that recipe that only has a few ingredients, the one that only takes 10 minutes, or the one that has almost no preparation. It’s ok, there’s no shame in that. Sometimes we’re just too busy or not in the mood for more complex cuisine!
If you’re like me - always tired at night and just looking for easy and simple dinner recipes instead of daylong slow cooker nightmares - you’re in the right place. Here are some simple but super delicious dinner options that you can make using only one single sheet pan!
Bonus: That means you only have one pan to wash later! Yay!
