Sheet pan meat and veggie recipes. Any meat, any veggies baked on a sheet pan. There’s so many recipes online to suit everyone’s taste. Our personal favorite is bell peppers, onions, fingerling potatoes and smoked turkey sausage.

Yes. And a "sheet pan" can be any open baking dish, depending. Here's an assemblage I made, pre-Christmas: roast chicken breast, roasted root veg (beet, parsnip, carrot), side salad. The most complex operation was chopping the veg to make matchsticks. Very, very simple overall approach to a tasty and healthful meal. I can dig out the macro values from MFP, but they were pretty good.

Flavorings of your choice; for the root veg, I used black pepper, dash of salt, sage and thyme. For the chicken, rosemary, thyme, granulated onion, granulated garlic, paprika, black pepper, dash of salt. In the past, I used to toss the chicken onto the top of the veg, the veg being used as a trivet to support it. Since they cook at different rates, I now more often separate them, getting the veg going sooner. Since I went at high temp, I used a drizzle of canola oil rather than olive.

Ignore the loaf of bread in the back. It is part of a set of 11 I made for holiday consumption and party gifts. It is a rosemary-garlic-sesame loaf which came out of the oven to cool just as I started dinner. It's why I was at the slightly higher temp of 400F for the dinner cooking.
