Is there anything better than making an entire meal on one pan? No there is not. I complied over 20 healthy sheet pan dinners that make weeknight meals a breeze!
What is a sheet pan dinner you may ask? The best creation in the food world. Half kidding, but they are pretty incredible! Here’s what you need to know about sheet pan dinners:
- You’ll need a sheet pan.
- Nine times out of ten your entire meal goes on that sheet pan.
- Meal prep and baking is a breeze.
- When the oven timer goes off, your entire meal is ready. WHAT!
I’ve decided that I need more sheet pan dinners in my life. The best thing about them is obviously that they only use one pan! Team less dishes for life. I also love how the flavors all kind of combine and mesh on the pan… not in a bad way but in a true, put together meal way!
These meals are amazing fresh out of the oven but really great as leftovers as well. Repurpose as is, eat over grains, eat over greens for an easy meal-sized salad – the options are endless!
