Fall meals prepped on a table.

Two items require the oven: roasted sweet potatoes and bacon. You can roast them simultaneously on separate sheet pans at 425°F, removing the bacon earlier, or cook them in separate batches if you need larger quantities.

The most efficient prep happens when one item is in the oven while you use the stove and counter to work on other components. That said, you don’t need to prepare every single item — pick the recipes that fit your week and combine with ideas from other seasonal meal prep posts.
