Quick.
Healthy.
Easy.
Three words make my heart skip a beat. These best healthy sheet pan dinners have got all three of those lovely words going for them.
It’s tough to go wrong with a sheet pan dinner.
Healthy Sheet Pan Dinners are on par with the ease of slow cooker meals. You can prepare them ahead and they are super simple.
But, these dinners are never soupy like so many slow cooker meals get – you know – how so much of it becomes a stew – even if you didn’t mean it to?
I will often make a sheet pan meal hours ahead of dinner time. Then I’ll simply slide the pan into the fridge and it’s ready to pop into the oven when I need it.
A sheet pan dinner looks beautiful too. They are usually colourful and often arranged on a pan in a surprisingly artistic way. I’ll often snap a photo before I pop it in the oven and text it to Ed – just because it looks too pretty not to use to build excitement.
I demonstrated the Easy Oven Fajitas at work for the immigrant moms who come to the program I led when I was a Registered Dietitian. At first, they were dubious – could this strange method really make the delicious fajitas they grew up with?
But quickly became converts. One woman came back the next week having already made the fajita recipe – twice – her family loved them that much!
Another plus on the Sheet Pan Dinner score sheet: Roasted Vegetables.
Is there a better way to serve veggies? Our kids don’t think so. They can’t get enough roasted vegetables – they never eat more veggies than when we’ve oven-roasted them.
In fact, roasted (just about) ANYTHING is delicious. Thank you, magical sheet pan!
