Free everyday life tip: Pick two vegetables that roast on the same tray (step 2 of 13 from "Meal Prep Sunday: Five Lunches in One Hour").

Your vegetables need to cook at the same temperature and roughly the same time as your protein, because they are going on the same sheet pan. Broccoli florets and sliced bell peppers both roast beautifully at 200 °C for 20 minutes. Sweet potato cubes work but need 25 minutes, so cut them smaller. Zucchini cooks in 12 minutes and turns to mush if you forget it.

Avoid raw leafy greens as your roasted veg — they wilt into nothing. If you want spinach or arugula in your lunch, add a handful of raw greens on top when you eat, not during prep. The goal here is two vegetables that can share the oven without babysitting.

You'll need

  • Protein chosen and thawed
  • Grain measured out dry
  • Two roasting vegetables washed
  • Seasoning jars on the counter
