Maybe try a slow cooker. If you find a few recipes you like and prepare what you can in larger batches and save some for next time (for example if it uses a collection of spices, measure out multiple recipes worth of all of the spices and store them (pre-combined) in spice jars), you can get the prep time down to a few minutes each time you want to cook it. Slow cookers have the added benefit of not having to worry about taking it out of the oven at the right time or whathaveyou - when it finishes cooking, it'll just keep your food warm until you're ready to eat it. This also keeps the washing to a minimum - it's just the slow cooker insert and your bowl + utensils. As an added bonus, you'll get multiple days worth of food out of one time cooking.

Rant about kitchen appliances:

People should learn to use the things they most probably already have in their kitchen.

slow cooker is just a tiny pot shaped low temperature oven with a timer
Air fryer is a tiny oven with a fan

Why do people get so hyped about a smaller and more limited version of the thing they already have? Just use your oven which most likely already has all these features. I haven't seen an electric oven without a fan or without a timer in my lifetime

Alright, now you tell me how I'm supposed to put a fan of my oven and how I'm supposed to make it preheat 10 times faster.
