Deciding what to make for dinner never gets easier, but you can make things a touch simpler for yourself if you have a specific ingredient or method of preparation in mind. For this particular collection of recipes, we’ve opted to pair two winning approaches—healthy eating and dishes that can be made in a single skillet (or pan) for a roundup of one-pot recipes with superfoods.
In other words, not only are these meals packed with some of the healthiest ingredients you can get your hands on—think beans, avocado, lentils, and fermented foods—but they all come together in a single dish. This means that once you’re done slurping up a bowl of Chickpea-Harissa Stew with Meatballs or chowing down on a comforting plate of Chicken Sausage and Beans, there’s only a handful of things to rinse and scrub. So, if you’re ready to eat healthy with minimal effort, keep scrolling for some nutritious dinner inspiration!
Shawarma-Seasoned Cauliflower and Chickpea Pitas
Fred Hardy
Grab a sheet pan and just a handful of ingredients—cauliflower, superfood chickpeas, yogurt, pita, cucumber, and red onion—to whip up this simple and healthy vegetarian dinner. The key to this dish is in the shawarma spice blend that seasons the roasted cauliflower and hearty chickpeas with the likes of turmeric, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and garlic. If you’re not a cauliflower fan, try this one-pan recipe with mushrooms or winter squash instead.
Skillet Chipotle-Pork Enchiladas
Victor Protasio
This Mexican-inspired meal packed with ground pork, enchilada sauce, and cheese comes together in one skillet thanks to a clever hack. While enchiladas are typically made by coating tortillas in a spicy sauce before filling and then individually rolling and baking them, this recipe calls for you to slice corn tortillas into wedges and mix them into the sauce and filling in one dish. Top with fresh avocado slices for a superfood boost.
One-Pot Chickpea-Harissa Stew with Meatballs
Jen Causey
There’s nothing not to love about this spicy stew, which comes together in one pot. The rich and bold dish includes homemade lamb meatballs flavored with ginger, turmeric, and cumin, as well as a harissa-flavored tomato broth that’s studded with superfoods like chickpeas and baby spinach. Finish each bowl with a dollop of yogurt (a fermented superfood!) for a touch of creaminess and freshness.
Sun-Dried Tomato Butter Salmon and Broccolini
Fred Hardy
Oven-baked salmon—a superfood loaded with healthy fats—is seasoned with a mixture of butter, sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and garlic, which means each bite of this protein-packed fish is full of flavor. The fish is served with lemony and cheesy roasted broccolini that cooks in the same pan, making this 25-minute meal easy, healthy, and satisfying.
Fast Italian Fish Stew
A stew in 30 minutes? Yes, and it’s hearty, healthy, and flavorful, too. It features crispy-skin halibut floating on superfood cannellini beans and tomatoes in a rich, flavorful broth. As if that isn’t reason enough to whip up this meal, rest assured that the whole thing comes together in one pot, which means fewer dishes for you.
Shrimp and Chorizo Skillet Supper
Spice up the week with some smoky chorizo and extra-large shrimp. Serve those flavorful proteins over tomato-braised chickpeas and arugula to get as many superfood ingredients as you can in one bite. This meal is simple yet healthy, and comes together in just 30 minutes in a single pot. Better yet? You can keep the leftovers for another night of the week; use the chorizo and shrimp as a topping whether you’re making some quick pasta or rice.
Turkey-Pumpkin Chili
This hearty chili is perfect for fall, and is made with lean ground turkey that has ample spices to draw out the savory side of its pumpkin purée. Fiber-rich cannellini beans add body to each bowl, which you can top with hot sauce, sour cream, and sliced scallions. The best part? This chili can be made using just one pot. To increase the superfood content, simply add more beans.
One-Pot Chicken Sausage and Beans
We love this cassoulet-inspired dish because it can be made in one pot. To start, cook the smoky andouille chicken sausage, which renders flavorful drippings that you’ll use to coat the breadcrumbs for topping. Then, you’ll build a tomato-enriched filling made with soft onions, juicy tomatoes, and rich ground pork. All this joins two cans full of superfood cannellini beans, which are on hand to add texture and absorb the saucy deliciousness. You won’t regret making this comforting meal!
Slow Cooker Chicken Taco Soup
To make this one-pot dish, all you need to do is combine the main ingredients—chicken broth, boneless chicken breasts, black beans, and plenty of spices and veggies—turn on your slow cooker, and wait about eight hours for a pot of comforting soup. Yes, it’s as easy as it sounds. When it comes time to serve the taco-inspired meal, top each bowl with cheese, fermented superfood sour cream, cilantro, and tortilla chips for even more flavor and texture.
Slow Cooker Vegetarian Chili with Sweet Potatoes
If you’re in need of a one-pot meal that will serve a crowd, give this hearty chili a go. The meat-free dish is made with satiating ingredients such as kidney beans, bell peppers, and sweet potatoes, and gets plenty of flavor from spices including cumin and unsweetened cocoa powder. When it’s time to serve this veggie chili, have sour cream, sliced scallions, sliced radishes, and tortilla chips on hand as tasty toppings.
Skillet Eggs in Enchilada Sauce
This saucy one-skillet meal takes inspiration from the Middle Eastern shakshuka, but instead of tomato sauce it pairs runny eggs with enchilada sauce, and superfoods like fresh kale and creamy avocado. Garnish with crumbled cotija cheese, a drizzle of hot sauce, and dig in.
One-Pan Salmon with Roasted Cabbage and Olive Vinaigrette
This one-pan meal marries salmon with crispy, caramelized cabbage and buttery Castelvetrano olives. While not a superfood like salmon, healthy cabbage contains a good amount of vitamin C to keep your immune system strong. And that’s nothing to sneeze at!
Lentils, Kale, and Sausage Soup
You only need one pot and 40 minutes for this hearty and comforting soup, which is made with superfood lentils, a whopping five cups of kale, and sweet Italian sausage. Serve this dish with a crusty baguette so you can sop up every last drop.
Slow Cooker Black Bean Posole
VICTOR PROTASIO
Posole is traditional Mexican soup made with spices, poblano chilies, and hominy. While it typically contains meat, this version loads up on superfoods and calls for a pound of black beans instead. Top this one pot meal with fresh avocado for even more superfood deliciousness.
Sheet Pan Salmon with Potatoes and Broccolini
Keep things simple for dinner with a nourishing meal. A quick vinaigrette with lemon, shallot, and mustard gets drizzled on top of the salmon and vegetables at the end for brightness and flavor. When shopping for those superfood salmon filets, look for ones that all have the same thickness, which will help them cook evenly.
