Sometimes, the thought of having to wash dishes is enough to convince me to pull up the Seamless app on my phone and forego cooking altogether. Don’t get me wrong—I absolutely love to cook, but it’s the cleanup that makes me dread the process. So whenever I’m cooking a healthful, home-cooked meal, but I’m feeling meh about cleaning, I look to recipes that keep it simple. Case in point, these healthy sheet pan recipes—they’re as delicious as they are easy to make and clean up.
The best news? These dishes aren’t just limited to dinner. I’ve got you covered for breakfast and lunch as well. You can roast a whole week’s worth of grain bowl veggies or whip up an easy breakfast too. It’s the perfect way to get a hearty, satisfying meal without having to use every single pot and pan in the kitchen. I mean who has the time to waste scrubbing away at dishes for an hour after every meal? After I’m done eating, it’s Netflix time.
My favorite thing about these healthy sheet pan recipes is that they’re so easily customizable with what you’ve got in your veggie drawer and pantry. Simply wap out both proteins and vegetables and keep the spirit and flavor profile of whatever recipe you’re recreating. When it comes to sheet pan recipes, the world is truly your oyster.
