If you want something scrumptious to nosh on, but don’t want to spend an eternity in the kitchen, we’ve got you covered. We’ve rounded up some tasty meals that will be ready to eat in a flash. So, get ready to fill your belly with these 20 minute meals and get on with your day! Those Netflix shows aren’t gonna watch themselves.
Soup in 20 minutes might seem like an impossible task, but it’s not. The key here is using a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken to help speed along the process. From there, it’s just a simple matter of letting your veggies simmer in some store-bought stock to get those flavors working. Added bonus, it tastes even better the next day and is figure friendly. Check out Cooking Light for the recipe.

These make for an amazing breakfast. Yes, we know this is more of a “breakfasty” type meal, and breakfast already typically comes together pretty quickly. But, these wonderful little bowls make for awesome 20 minute meals. In fact, as long as you remember to soak your barley overnight, these come together in 10 minutes or less. There’s sweetness, there’s crunch, and there’s plenty of filling stuff in there to keep you full through those fasting hours. Peep this fantastic recipe from Middle East Eye. https://www.middleeasteye.net/sites/default/files/2_30.jpg
Feeling like something with a bit of an Asian flare tonight? Try your hand at this easy recipe from Closet Cooking. It uses ground beef to speed up the process, while sacrificing none of the incredible flavor. Our advice, don’t skip out on the fried egg on top. Somehow it manages to bring the entire dish together with that silky yolk.

Who says 20 minute meals can’t look like they took all day to make? This dish from Veena Azmanov is gorgeous to look at, and incredible to taste. The spices and flavors are on point, and it’s a meal you can totally stretch. It keeps in the fridge for about 4-5 days, which means it scores points for a good shelf life too.

Vegans, this one is for you. This recipe comes from over at Tasting To Thrive, and man is it good. It’s rich and creamy and bursting with Thai-centric flavor. It’s also a great way to spruce up some baked sweet potatoes. Honestly, you could use it to top just about anything, rice, pasta, quinoa, heck, you could even just sop it up with some bread. Yup, you could be feasting on this in under 20 minutes.
