  • In an interview with INSIDER, Ayesha Curry told us every parent should master a simple sheet-pan dinner.
  • She recommends picking a protein, then loading on finely-chopped veggies like onions, squash, and sweet potatoes.
  • Curry also recommends trying her recipe for a quick three-ingredient sauce made of apricot preserves, soy sauce, and chopped garlic.
  • Curry just launched a new website called Homemade in collaboration with GoDaddy that features more of her recipes and products.

Not everyone has time to whip up an intricate gourmet meal every night. With three children, multiple business ventures, and a new GoDaddy-produced website called Homemade, Ayesha Curry knows this well. 

Given her busy schedule, INSIDER asked Curry to tell us the one meal every parent should learn how to make when they're feeling strapped for time. She says she's been turning to simple sheet-pan dinners to save time and cut down on cleanup.

"Evenings in our home are very chaotic, so sheet-pan dinners are huge for me," Curry told us. 

 

The beauty of sheet-pan dinners is that they're easily customizable, but Curry has a few suggestions to get you started

"It's usually some sort of protein like salmon or chicken laid out on a sheet pan," Curry said. "I pile on the veggies like onions, squash, and sweet potatoes." 

When preparing veggies that typically take a long time to cook, Curry says the trick is to chop everything in small, even pieces. 

"When you chop up your veggies a little bit smaller and make sure everything's even, it cooks in a flash," she advised.

Once your protein and veggies of choice are evenly laid out, Curry recommends pouring on her special three-ingredient sauce

"It's so simple you would think it took all day to make and it's literally three ingredients: apricot preserves, soy sauce, chopped garlic," she told us. "I whisk it and I pour it over top."

According to a similar recipe she featured in a Fitbit blog post, the sauce requires 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, two heaped tablespoons of apricot preserves, and three minced garlic cloves.

Once you pour the sauce over top, Curry recommends popping it into the oven at 425 degrees for about 15 to 20 minutes.

"Then you have the perfect one sheet pan, little to no mess, and the glaze caramelizes and it's so good," Curry said.

Curry's new site Homemade acts as a hub for all of her recipes and lifestyle tips, and she hopes it inspires families to spend more time together

"My goal is to try to get people to stay home more, and to enjoy their safe haven," she said of her vision for Homemade. "Getting people to gather at that family table, cook and enjoy a meal together and build that communication. I feel like that's where long-lasting, happy relationships are nurtured and grown."
