What Sheet Pan is Best?
I prefer using an 18×13-inch rimmed baking sheet for most sheet pan dinners. The size is ample enough to spread the ingredients around without crowding. A jelly roll pan (which is smaller, about 15×10) can work too.
Tips for Sheet Pan Meals
- Line the pan: For easy clean-up and no scrubbing, be sure to line your baking pan with foil or parchment.
- Prep ingredients ahead: For quick weeknight meals, prep as many of the ingredients ahead as possible. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a day ahead. Marinate meat if needed, and chop the vegetables.
- Toss ingredients in oil: This is especially important when roasting vegetables so they don’t dry out in the oven.
Why Spring Sheet Pan Dinners Are Perfect for Weeknight Meals
Here are a few reasons I love sheet pan dinners for weeknight meals:
- Easy meal on a tray (essentially a one-pot dinner) that most often requires no additional sides.
- Delicious flavors mingle together on one pan.
- Cleanup is a breeze with one sheet pan!
- Perfect for leftover meat and produce you have on hand.
March Sheet Pan Dinners Menu
Monday’s dinner is a vegetarian sheet pan pasta dish that’s healthy, beautiful, and ready in 30 minutes. Add a large salad with all the fresh March veggies!
Tuesday’s dinner is Mardi Gras — and we’re making a healthier version of Jambalaya. While this recipe bakes on a sheet pan, you can make Instant Pot Jambalaya or this simple one pot jambalaya recipe. Serve with a salad and maybe one of these healthier Mardi Gras treats. For breakfast, celebrate Shrove Tuesday with one of these Pancake Day recipes!
Wednesday’s dinner is a meal packed with comfort and flavor. In fact, I’m making extra for lunches this week. One pan with easy cleanup!
Thursday’s dinner is all about spring and seafood. It’s healthy, delicious, and puts you in the mood for a new season!
Friday’s dinner takes us to the Southwest with a simple, Friday-perfect fajita meal. Serve with your favorite condiments, warm tortillas, and greens! Hopefully, we’ll have leftovers for the weekend.
The Treat this week is sheet pan worthy. It’s a recipe that’s having a moment and one that readers are loving this week!
Have a beautiful and delicious week!
