And cheaper, too.
Seriously, as a non-cook to a non-cook, you don't need recipes.
First of all, for one person, I use my toaster oven; I fill up a sheet and that does me. Obviously, it depends on whether you have one and how big it is; otherwise, your regular oven.
Pick your protein. Mine is a chicken piece, a pork chop, or a fish fillet. While you're finding your feet, google times and temps: it's a fast learning curve. If you feel like it, marinate it in something or rub some herbs/spices into it. For your veg (which can be almost anything -- broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, string beans, zucchini (courgettes), spuds, etc.) -- get it into reasonable pieces, drizzle it with some oil, plus salt & pepper and herbs if you want. The timing and temp on the veg are are not critical; sometimes it might be more al dente, sometimes crispy, but it'll be fine. You'll figure it out; depending on how much time the protein takes I may start the veg first or the protein first.
That's it! It already sounds more complicated than it is. It's maybe five minutes of food prep altogether.
