Dinner Simplified: 10 Delicious 3-Ingredient Recipes for Busy Weeknights

Between long work hours and endless to-do lists, the last thing anyone wants is a sink full of dishes and a recipe with twenty different steps. Minimalist cooking is having a major moment, and for a good reason: it saves money, reduces food waste, and gets you out of the kitchen faster.

If you have salt, pepper, and a little cooking oil in your pantry, you are ready to master these 10 dinner recipes that require only three primary ingredients.

Minimalist Cooking Pro-Tips:

1. Quality Over Quantity: When using only three ingredients, choose high-quality items (like a premium BBQ sauce or fresh sourdough) to ensure the flavors pop.
2. The Pantry "Freebies": Remember that water, salt, pepper, and basic cooking oil are generally considered "free" ingredients in 3-ingredient cooking. 
3. Texture is Key: Use your Air Fryer (set to 90°C) for the sausage or chicken recipes to get that extra crunch without adding more ingredients.
