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.

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!
