Quick Meals recipes

Fast dinners, sides and snacks that go from cutting board to table in well under an hour, many in 20 minutes or less. The range is wide: shrimp scampi, pepper steak, smash burger tacos, sun-dried tomato pasta salad and pineapple chicken tacos sit next to lighter picks such as fresh spring rolls, miso soup and blueberry agua fresca.

Some recipes are true no-cook or no-bake ideas, like the berry almond protein bars, while others lean on one pan, an air fryer or a skillet to save cleanup. To choose, start with the time in the title and your equipment: stovetop stir-fries and tacos suit the shortest evenings, while a 40-minute quinoa dish or spring roll platter works for casual guests.
