21 easy weeknight dinners for November include quick and cozy meals

Bon Appetit published a list of 21 easy weeknight dinners designed for November, focusing on quick preparation and comforting flavors. The recipes include a variety of dishes such as quick pastas, one-pot meals, cozy soups, hearty chili, and make-ahead options.

The collection features a three-ingredient pumpkin soup, gochujang chicken that cooks quickly under the broiler, and a smoky one-pan pasta made from pantry staples. Some recipes incorporate Thanksgiving-adjacent flavors like sage, stuffing, and squash to reflect the season.

Protein options span chicken, pork, beef, seafood, and vegetarian dishes, offering a broad range of choices. For example, the gochujang yogurt chicken uses Greek yogurt to tenderize the meat and requires only 15 minutes under high heat to cook.

Other highlighted meals include chicken meatballs paired with sesame green beans cooked on the same sheet pan to simplify preparation and cleanup, a pork and bok choy stir-fry for a speedy dinner, and a Japanese-inspired soboro don bowl combining ground beef, scrambled eggs, and vegetables.

The list also features a stuffing-crusted fish recipe that revitalizes boxed stuffing mix by combining it with Parmesan, lemon zest, parsley, and butter to create a crispy topping for tender fish.

These recipes aim to provide comforting meals without demanding extensive cooking time, allowing more time for relaxation and other activities during busy weeknights.

Bon Appetit’s guide offers practical and flavorful ideas for November dinners that balance ease and seasonal tastes.
