This is one of my favorite weeknight dinners because it's honestly so simple to throw together. You just dump everything into a tray and let the oven do the work while you relax. I love using sausages as the star here because they're budget friendly and packed with flavor, plus the fennel seeds add this lovely subtle sweetness. The beans are fantastic too, packed with fiber and protein that keep you satisfied for hours. With just 10 minutes of prep, you've got a complete, wholesome meal ready to serve with crusty bread in under an hour.

Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 4. Toss the red onion, potatoes, artichokes, tomatoes, spring onions, sausages, fennel seeds and lemon wedges together in a baking tray or 20 x 20cm baking dish. Drizzle over the oil and season to taste (you won’t need a lot of salt, as the sausages can be quite salty).

How to Make Candied Bacon

This is honestly one of my favorite things to make when I want something special but don't have much time. Candied bacon comes together in under thirty minutes and costs just a few dollars, plus it's ridiculously simple. The brown sugar caramelizes beautifully while the bacon crisps up, creating this amazing sweet and salty contrast. I love that black pepper adds a little kick and actually contains piperine, which helps your body absorb nutrients better. Whether you're serving it at brunch or sneaking a piece as a snack, this recipe never disappoints.

Pesto Gnocchi

This is my go to weeknight dinner when I want something impressive but don't have much time. Pesto gnocchi comes together in about twenty minutes, making it perfect for busy evenings, and it's surprisingly budget friendly since you can use store bought gnocchi and pesto. I love that basil, the star of any good pesto, is packed with antioxidants and has anti inflammatory properties. The sweet cherry tomatoes add a beautiful freshness while the toasted pine nuts bring a lovely crunch. It's simple, elegant, and tastes like you spent way more effort than you actually did.
