Oven (Bake and Roast)

Some days call for turning on the oven and letting dinner take shape while you handle everything else. That might mean a cast iron dessert like Cast Iron Blueberry Peach Cobbler, a pan of Lobster Truffle Mac and Cheese, or chicken roasting until it’s golden, like our Oven-Baked BBQ Boneless Chicken Thighs.

This category brings together recipes that bake and roast well, from classic breads like Old Fashioned Buttermilk Biscuits and Old Fashioned Cornbread to comfort-food staples like Southern Green Bean Casserole, Southern Cornbread Dressing, and 5 Ingredient Cast Iron Skillet Chicken Pot Pie. You’ll also find crowd-friendly oven favorites such as Sheet Pan Nachos Supreme, Carne Asada Nachos, Hot Honey Chicken Wings, and Mango Habanero Wings.

For holidays and special dinners, the oven earns its keep with recipes like Dry Brined Spatchcock Turkey, Stuffed Cornish Game Hens, and Beef Osso Buco.

Whether you’re feeding a crowd, planning a holiday menu, or just want the oven to do most of the work, these are the recipes worth preheating for.
