There are few things more satisfying than a one-vessel recipe. If you’re telling me I can make brownies in one bowl, I’m so in. A one-pot pasta that’s ready in the time it takes the water to boil? This is my heaven. But my forever favorite is the easy sheet pan dinner—minimal effort, maximum reward, and cleanup that means I’m lifting nary a finger.
