“Tomatoes, onions, and cucumbers (yes, cucumbers!) roast along with the Greek flank steak, creating a crunchy, juicy salad that just begs to be topped with feta,” says Molly Gilbert, author of “Sheet Pan Suppers: 120 Recipes for Simple, Surprising, Hands-Off Meals Straight from the Oven.” “I didn’t realize it was a salad initially.

One serving of poultry a week is recommended in the Mediterranean diet, so be sure to make it tasty! Enter this delectable sheet pan dinner of roasted chicken thighs, loads of vegetables, olives, and herbs—all roasted to perfection with olive oil and lemon. “This was ahhh-mazing,” says one Allrecipes reviewer. “Very flavorful and easy to make. I doubled the sauce and didn’t have balsamic vinegar, so I used a big squeeze of honey and a splash of apple cider vinegar. I think it added a little bit of sweetness.”

“Topping a thick-crust pizza with bread crumbs might sound like a strange idea, but it really is the crispy, cheesy secret sauce behind this Sicilian Pizza,” says Chef John, who shared this recipe. “Well, that and the actual sauce of onion and anchovies—ingredients you might want to keep secret from guests. Also key is the extremely sticky dough, which bakes into a feather-light, spongy crust that contrasts perfectly with the crumbly topping.”

“Serving a gorgeous, fancy-looking holiday roast doesn’t have to be complicated, time-consuming, or expensive,” says Chef John, who shared this recipe. “This pork loin proves exactly that. This is fast, easy, and affordable, but when you bring it to the table, it looks like a million dollars. The beautifully warming and aromatic spices really work so well with a pork roast.”

To make this traditional Algerian recipe, simply rub a whole chicken with Dijon mustard, olive oil, onion, and spices, then pop it in the oven to roast. The flavorful sauce combines onions, garlic, mustard, balsamic vinegar, and cayenne pepper. “When I have time, I prepare the chicken a few hours ahead of time and let it marinate in the sauce before roasting it in the oven,” says one Allrecipes member. “I usually serve the chicken with cubed roast potatoes. I coat them with the same sauce and cook them in the oven for 1 hour.”
