High Protein Lunch & Dinner Meal prep Recipes

The lazy high-protein dinner I save for a busy weeknight

Even though this is one of the lowest effort dinners I can think of making for a busy weeknight, it still feels like a nice home cooked meal! And I love that it’s both healthy and high protein!

Everything goes on one-tray, and makes 4 servings – either great for a whole family, or if it’s just you it’s perfect for meal prep.

The most important step is first – preheat the oven to 425 with the oven tray inside, this helps to make the potatoes as crispy as possible in as short a time as possible. And if you don’t wanna have to clean the tray afterwards, you can just cover it first.

Hope you love it as much as I do!
