The Sheet Pan Formula

Ingredients you will need:

• Vegetables: Chopped bite-sized veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, sweet bell peppers, onion, asparagus, carrots, cherry tomatoes, green beans, etc.
• Starchy carbohydrate (optional): Chopped bite-sized potato, turnips, beets or sweet potato
• Protein: chicken breast, chicken thighs, salmon fillets, pork tenderloin, pork chops, shrimp, etc.
• Oil: Extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil
• Seasoning: Salt, pepper, spices, fresh herbs, ranch seasoning, Old Bay seasoning, Italian seasoning, etc.

Depending on your ingredients, cooking times will vary!

Keep it simple and don’t overdo it! General rule of thumb is to roast the sheet pan dinner at 400 degrees – just make sure you set your timer to keep track. Cut up those potatoes, add some veggies too – they’ll need 30 minutes in a preheated oven. Depending on your choice of meat, you may only need 15 minutes if it is salmon or up to 30 minutes for pork tenderloin. If you choose one of the recipes in this article, be sure to follow the instructions for the cook times!

Why Sheet Pan Meals Are The Best!

Who doesn’t love an easy yet delicious meal? That’s where sheet pan meals come in! Picture this: you have a busy day, you’re tired, and the last thing you want to do is to spend hours in the kitchen. Well, with easy sheet pan dinners, you don’t have to! They really are the best — just toss all your ingredients together on a single pan (I like this one!) and pop it into the oven. As it cooks, the flavors blend and mingle, creating a scrumptious dinner with minimal effort. Plus, you’ll have fewer dishes to clean up afterward, which means you can have more time to relax and enjoy your evening. So, next time you’re looking for a fuss-free, flavorful meal, remember that sheet pan meals are your ultimate go-to!

BONUS: Not only are they incredibly easy to prepare, but sheet pan dinners are also incredibly nutritious. They are a great way to increase you produce intake, which as a dietitian, I always recommend! You can get an entire meal – protein, vegetables, carbs (optional), and plenty of flavor to boot – all cooked in one pan.

OK, no more delays! Let’s get started.
