Open in Pepper →The paleo approach on Pepper leans on lean protein, roasted vegetables, and healthy fats — the same trio that shows up in the top-saved meal prep recipes.
Cooks favor sheet-pan chicken, salmon fillets, and ground beef bowls because they batch cleanly and hold texture across four days in the fridge.
The recipes below skip grains, dairy, and legumes and rely on olive oil, avocado, sweet potato, and squash for the carbohydrate anchor.
Batch on Sunday
Cook proteins and grains in bulk on one afternoon so weekday meals reheat in minutes.
Season in layers
Salt the protein early, add acid at the end — it's the fastest way to make simple ingredients taste finished.
Match the pan to the recipe
A sheet pan wants space between ingredients; a skillet wants everything touching. Following that rule fixes most texture problems.
Taste before you serve
Almost every recipe here benefits from a final pinch of salt or squeeze of lemon right before plating.
