6) Sheet-Pan Fish & Chips
We love a platter of traditional beer-battered fish and chips whenever we’re lucky enough to be in a pub, but if we’re craving it at home, this sheet-pan version is our go-to. Crispy panko-crusted cod strips are paired with thick-cut steak fries for a meal that’s every bit as satisfying as its British pub counterpart, but much less work (and cleanup!) involved.

It's one of the most versatile mains we’ve ever developed, which is why it's a weeknight dinner that we return to again and again. We particularly love it because of its simple prep and minimal cleanup, thanks to an easy extra step of lining the sheet pan .

Steak frites is such an iconic dish; a perfectly seared steak and crispy French fries are hard to beat. Add a cold martini or a glass of wine, and you have a perfect meal…well, almost perfect. Making everything on a sheet pan and utilizing frozen fries, however, makes this meal come together almost impossibly fast (just 20 minutes!).
10) Stuffed Banana Peppers
When it comes to stuffing peppers , the sky’s the limit. You’ll find plenty of recipes online that suggest stuffing with cream cheese, Italian sausage (because why not, right?), and even tuna, but this one features a classic meatball filling with melted mozzarella, Parm, and some warm marinara sauce.
