Ah, the toaster oven: a perfect tool for making… almost anything you can think of. Yep, while this little oven does toast bread, it can do a whole lot more. A toaster oven is more energy-efficient than a regular oven, and it can brown and crisp foods in a way a microwave can’t. From whole eggs still in their shells (what?!) to pizza, fish, kebabs, and muffins, here’s how to use your toaster oven for more than just toast.

Dinner 15. Moroccan pork kebabs Coat cubed pork loin in a sweet and tangy sauce made from orange juice, tomato paste, garlic, cumin, and cinnamon. Stick it onto skewers (that you’ve soaked in water for 30 minutes), and then bake these tasty treats in the toaster oven. Even better, this recipe includes skewers of eggplant and onion to accompany the pork kebabs. 16. Lasagna toasts Lasagna gets a toaster makeover here. Ditch the sheets of pasta and instead toast slices of hearty whole-grain bread. Top the toasts with ricotta, mozzarella, Pecorino Romano, tomatoes, zucchini, and of course, garlic. Toast them until the cheese gets all gooey and delicious. 17. Fish and chips No greasy fingers from this fish and chips recipe. Instead of being battered and fried, the cod is baked with lemon, garlic, and thyme (and eaten with knife and fork). But first, roast the potatoes on high until they turn into golden fries. 18. Stuffed mushrooms This flavorful dish is light but filling. Fill each portobello cap with a mixture of spinach, onion, ricotta, tomatoes, and basil. Top with a panko breadcrumb and Parmesan cheese crust. 19. Miso-glazed salmon This dish takes only… count ’em… 5 minutes to cook. The Asian-inspired sauce’s umami flavors come from a blend of white miso (Japanese fermented soybean paste), soy sauce, and sake. Feel free to omit some (or all) of the sugar or sub a few tablespoons of honey instead.
