I love a good sheet pan dinner. Not only is the clean up super easy, but dinner is usually on the table fast. Over the years I have found some favorites and created others. Below is my list of 15 Sheet Pan Dinners you have to try.
We have a routine in our household. When my Navy traveling husband is in town he takes the kiddos up for bath time after dinner and I do the dishes. Yes, I would rather clean up dishes from the meal I just prepared more than bathe my children. Bathtime is my least favorite time. I love mornings and bedtime, but I hate bath time. I can’t really put into words why, I just do.
So when I can prepare a sheet pan dinner, my after dinner chore of cleaning up usually involves throwing a piece of parchment (see below for my favorite brand) into the trash and we are done. This gives me time for a quiet glass of wine while chaos ensues upstairs (because I have two boys under the age of 7). So sheet pan dinners are my jam. I rounded up 15 Sheet Pan Dinners that are delicious, healthy and varied in ingredients. (weirdly I have a lot of recipes for sheet pan dinners haha). Most of these involve no side prep at all. One or two might go well with rice or polenta, but you be the judge of that. Here’s to simple clean up and a quiet moment after dinner.

If You Care Parchment Paper Unbleached Sheets – I absolutely LOVE this product. The precut sheets make using a sheet pan even more simple and NOTHING sticks to these. The packaging is recyclable too.
OXO Non Stick Sheet Pan Set – A rimmed baking sheet is necessary for these recipes and I love having the versatility of two sizes. These are non stick, heavy duty, and dishwasher safe.
Baking/Cooling Rack – This is required for the Sheet Pan Skirt Steak with Broccolini and White Beans from Epicurious. The steak cooks up on the baking rack and the juices from that delicious meat flavor the broccolini and white beans below. You can use this as a cooling rack to set your hot sheet pans on from the other recipes too.
Cavender’s Greek Seasoning – You can get this at most grocery stores in the spice aisle, but you can also get it on Amazon too. It’s THE seasoning I use for the Baked Greek Chicken and you will find plenty of other uses for it too. It makes great hamburgers as well.
