One of my all-time favorite meals to cook is a one pan or one pot dish. Whether it’s a simple one pot pasta or my viral one pan dumplings, one pan and one pot meals are a weeknight staple. I created a roundup of 20+ Healthy One Pan/One Pot Recipes to make cooking easier and more enjoyable.
They’re quick, easy to throw together, and because they’re made in just one pan or pot, clean-up takes little time at all. I’m all about making healthy eating more attainable and that’s exactly what these recipes are here for.

One Pan / One Pot FAQ
Most of my one pan and one pot recipes take around 30-minutes total, some longer and some shorter. One pot dishes are going to be made in a pot on the stove, whereas most one pan dishes are going to be made in a casserole dish and baked in the oven.
Most all of my one pan and one pot dishes are complete meals so they contain protein and veggie-sources. Other dishes, like One Pot Pumpkin Orzo and One Pot Mexican Cauliflower Rice, are more typical sides to a main dish.
The most popular kid-friendly one pan and one pot dishes at HealthyGirl Kitchen are Glowing Skin Soup (tastes like tomato soup!) and No-Boil Creamy Pasta Bake.
