Sheet-pan dinners, tray bakes, and oven-roasted everything. These recipes do most of the work while the oven does the cooking — just set the timer and wait.
Fall-off-the-bone tender pork ribs baked low and slow — wrapped in parchment then foil so they steam in their own juices, then finished with a sticky caramelized apple-and-brown-sugar glaze with a surprising hint of cinnamon. No barbecue required.
Meat pizza: shape seasoned ground beef into a base, pre-bake to render the juices, then top with pizza sauce, mozzarella and pepperoni and bake again until bubbling. A low-carb pizza with a meat crust.
High-protein breakfast pizza: blend cottage cheese and eggs, stir into an almond-flour batter, spoon into rounds, top with sauce, cheese and pepperoni, and bake at 180°C until melted and bubbling.
Tortilla kebab sticks: layer tortillas with seasoned cheesy beef like a savoury cake, slice into strips, skewer, bake at 180°C, brush with BBQ sauce and bake again until the edges caramelize and crisp.
Bacon-wrapped camembert: weave bacon into a mat, stuff a halved camembert with garlic, honey and herbs, wrap it tight in the bacon and bake at 180°C for 25 minutes until crisp outside and molten inside.
Ultimate sticky chicken wings: brine split wings until juicy, coat in a tangy yogurt, tomato, sriracha and mustard sauce, then bake at 180°C until golden, glossy and falling off the bone.
Bacon-wrapped onion rings: shape cheesy garlic beef into rings, set inside large onion rings, wrap each in bacon and bake at 180°C on a rack until golden and crisp. A meaty, cheesy BBQ bite.
Candied pickle bacon: coat bacon in brown sugar and seasoning, drizzle with sriracha, top with pickled jalapeño and bake at 180°C until the sugar hardens into a sweet-spicy candy shell. Sweet, hot, crispy.
