Turn on your oven, get out your sheet pan, and create satisfying and flavorful sheet pan dinners. Your entire dinner roasted in one pan makes cleanup a breeze!
Sheet pan dinners are a complete meal. They’re easy to throw together and ready to eat in under an hour. My sheet pan dinners include protein and lots of healthy roasted vegetables. Meat and vegetables are roasted together on the sheet pan making a delicious dinner, all on the same pan.
Easy clean up. No messy stove to clean up and only one pan to wash. What’s not to like about that?!
Lots of variety. I’ve collected more than twenty sheet pan meal recipes that I think you’ll agree are out of the ballpark home run hits. You’ll find recipes with chicken breasts or thighs, salmon, turkey sausage, even mini meatloaves. Some feature potatoes and others are made with gnocchi. I’ve also included a couple of vegetarian sheet pan dinners that are simply scrumptious. You can even make an entire Thanksgiving dinner on a sheet pan!
What type of pan to buy
We recommend a rimmed sheet pan, not a cookie sheet. The rim will keep your oven tidy and prevent juices from running off your pan.
The best size for all the recipes below is a half sheet pan, which is about 18 x 13 inches. Once you start dipping your toes into cooking with a sheet pan, you may want to try some different sizes, but this is the size I use most when cooking for my family of four.
