This remix of an American classic is creamy and ribboned with fresh vegetables, but the real star is the paprika-scented fried onions.

Three heads of broccoli spread across two sheet pans may seem like a lot. But when broccoli is this tender, crispy, and caramelized, it's hard to stop eating it right off the pan.

The best thing about this classic sesame-based confection (aside from the fact that it’s so delicious) is how easy it is to make at home.

A sausage patty topped with feta, cilantro, sweet pickled peppers, and a sunny-side-up egg make for a hearty sandwich that’s perfect for brunch, lunch, or dinner.

Rendering fat trickles from the chicken as it roasts onto a bed of sliced potatoes and onions, resulting in a crisp and juicy bird with a built-in side dish.

There’s no need to reduce your cream or pre-cook the kale for this cheesy, creamy casserole. Leaving the potatoes unpeeled bumps up nutrients and cuts the prep time, too.

Embrace the sweetness with this maple-kissed casserole, topped with a playful pecan-graham crumble and toasty marshmallows.

In this spicy version of Korean fried chicken, juicy, boneless chicken thighs are dipped in a light batter to form an extra-crispy crust, then lacquered with a gingery hot sauce.

A crisp cucumber-and-herb salad makes a light, vibrant topping for this fragrant rice pilaf and golden sauté of chicken, onions, and garlic.

The rich flavors of crispy, tender chicken and smoky bacon balance the slightly bitter notes of frisée and shaved fennel in this hearty dinner salad.

This cumin and paprika-spiced number gets added punch from a tangy green sauce and an avocado and cucumber salad.

Gently cooked in olive oil, delectably tender leeks melt like butter over fennel-scented chicken thighs and snappy green vegetables in this easy spring braise.

Tucked under a butter- and herb-rubbed bird, savoy cabbage, thick-cut bacon, and simple potatoes meld into a caramelized, smoky, and irresistibly-tender trifecta.

Satisfying enough for winter and light enough for spring, this Spanish-inspired braise is packed with chorizo, chickpeas, and an invigorating splash of Sherry vinegar.

Dark honeys, like buckwheat, bring a touch of earthy sweetness to these lightly glazed beauties. The gremolata, made with the frilly green carrot tops, make a delicious and pretty finishing touch while adding to your #wasteless repertoire. If bunched carrots with tops aren't available, use parsley for the gremolata instead.

This simple, light salad showcases the beauty of winter vegetables and makes an elegant start to a festive holiday meal.

These bright zesty pickles are equally at home in a cocktail as they are in a salad, with pâté, or as part of a cured meats and cheese board.

Bitter radicchio, spicy Italian sausage, and sweet sun-dried tomatoes make for a sophisticated pasta with very little effort.

Cinnamon, cardamom, and freshly ground black pepper lend warm spice to these sweet fritters.

Fresh basil and pears team up for a winning combo of sweet fruit and herbal notes in this bright, crisp salad.
