What Are Sheet Pan Meals

Sheet Pan Meals are simply dinners that are all baked on one large tray in the oven. Generally there is some kind of chicken, fish or meat with vegetables. But you can pretty much add anything you would like to a sheet pan dinner.

Tips For Creating Your Own Custom Sheet Pan Meals

  • Cut evenlyย – Make sure to cut your vegetables evenly to ensure even cooking.
  • Think about cooking timesย – Different ingredients often cook at different times. Often you can add everything to the pan at the same time which makes it even easier. However, with some meals, you may need to add ingredients at different times.
  • Use parchment paper – You can use parchment paper in all sheet pan meals. This helps prevent sticking as well as easy clean up!
  • Rotate pan 1/2 way through cooking – I find it’s best to rotate the pan half way through cooking to ensure even cooking.
  • Spread ingredients evenly on the pan – Again, to ensure even cooking, try to make sure the ingredients don’t overlap and that they are nestled in nicely. This will allow even cooking.
  • Allow to rest after cooking – For best results with sheet pan meals, allow them to rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
