[Put your slow cooker to work]( with recipes that can be prepared in the morning and will be ready for you when you get home. This [Slow-Cooker Turkish-Style Eggplant Casserole]( pairs earthy eggplant with traditional Turkish spices—paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper, and cinnamon—for a flavorful, nutritious dinner. For a main dish that can be on the table in under an hour, [Weeknight Roast Chicken]( requires little more than seasoning. We also like to put our [air fryer]( to use on weeknights. This [Air-Fryer Sweet and Smoky Pork Tenderloin with Butternut Squash]( is a hearty meal, and the only clean-up required is the air fryer basket. Get even more air-fryer recipes with [Air Fryer Perfection]( and get thousands of recipes for anything from busy weeknights to weekend dinner parties with an [All-Access Membership](. FREE FOR TWO DAYS Slow-Cooker Turkish-Style Eggplant Casserole We pair eggplant with bulgur, a popular grain that cooks perfectly in the steamy environment of the slow cooker. An herb-yogurt sauce adds a welcome richness and tang to this spiced dish. [view recipe]( FREE FOR TWO DAYS Weeknight Roast Chicken This recipe is a perfect solution for a simple roast chicken dinner. Placing the bird breast side up in a preheated skillet sears the thighs, giving them a head start so that they cook in sync with the delicate breast meat. Turning off the oven when the meat is halfway done allows the chicken to finish cooking very gently and slows the evaporation of juices, ensuring moist, tender meat. [view recipe]( FREE FOR TWO DAYS Air-Fryer Sweet and Smoky Pork Tenderloin with Butternut Squash We toss the pork in a mixture of molasses, garlic, and smoked paprika, giving it smokiness, sweetness, and deep color, before placing it atop a pile of cubed butternut squash that we’d given a head start in the air fryer. A bonus: The smoky molasses glaze drips down onto the squash during cooking, creating beautifully caramelized, tasty edges.
