Bon Appétit food editors discussed what defines a "weeknight recipe," establishing criteria including fewer than a dozen ingredients, active cooking time under an hour, and no sub-recipes requiring separate assembly. The editors emphasized practical considerations like avoiding multi-step components, utilizing pre-prepped ingredients, and favoring complete one-pot or sheet-pan meals over recipes requiring additional side dishes.
