Hi! Let’s make a sheet pan dinner. Also known as: let’s make an excuse to clean only one dish tonight. You game? This version of dinner is two things: Easy. Like, pop-it-in-the-oven easy. And DELICIOUS.
And just like that, wham. You’re in BEST WEEKNIGHT EVER territory.
1. Sheet Pan Pizza
I take homemade pizza pretty seriously, and this was always my favorite as a kid. You’re not just getting a yummy meal, you’re making memories together! No need to worry about toppings.
Just give everyone their own corner of the pan and let them go wild. It’s a total choose-your-own-adventure! Got a crowd? Just add another sheet pan.
2. Sheet Pan Steak and Veggies
Okay, not to be dramatic, but this sheet pan steak and veggie meal is a life-changer. I’m not going to lie, cooking steak on the stovetop stresses me out.
I never know how it’ll turn out! Broiling the steak? It ensures you get it just how you like it. Every. Single. Time. It comes with parboiled baby red potatoes and broccoli. A big Y-E-S to that.
3. Greek Chicken Sheet Pan
This Greek chicken sheet pan is a top recipe for me when I’m doing low-carb. That marinade with olive oil, herbs, and lemon is just life-giving. It makes the chicken so juicy and flavorful.
The veggies get perfectly roasted. And even though it’s low-carb, you won’t feel like anything is missing. Garnish with tzatziki and feta to make it a real Greek meal. Yum!
4. Sheet Pan Shrimp Boil
Get a taste of the coast with this homestyle shrimp boil dinner. You get tender shrimp, plus corn, potatoes, and sausage. That combo of Cajun seasoning and Old Bay just reminds me of those lazy summer days with friends.
And just like that, because it’s made in the oven, you can have it any time of year. You’re in BEST DINNER EVER territory.
5. Asian Chicken Sheet Pan
Healthy and succulent? Yes! This Asian chicken sheet pan is honestly better than my favorite takeout. For that amazing, unforgettable taste, let the chicken marinate overnight.
It gets so juicy and infused with all those fragrant Asian flavors. Just place the chicken, leftover marinade, and your veggies on the pan. Serve it up with steamed rice for a one-and-done type meal.
6. Fish and Chips
Baked fish and chips, all on one pan? Sign me up. You’ll want to use a couple of tricks to make sure you get the crispiest fries and fish.
First, when you make the fish breading mixture, toast it in a skillet with oil. To kick this recipe up a notch, whip up some homemade tartar sauce to serve with it.
7. Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas
Sheet pan chicken fajitas are such an effortless and delicious meal. Ready in under 30 minutes! Well-seasoned chicken breast, onions, and peppers get tossed together and baked.
