Sheet Pan Dinners are Amazing!
I personally love sheet pan dinners. I turn on some music, fire up the oven, prep the ingredients, and load up the sheet pans. So easy and a great way to multi-task (just remember to set a timer so you don’t burn dinner!). All of the recipes here are full of flavorful ingredients like curry and chili pepper, as well as tons of veggies to help you get lots of variety in your diet. As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, getting in plenty of fruits and vegetables is so important for gut health.
The clean-up is so simple too! Use silicone baking sheet liners or parchment paper to line the sheet pan, that way you don’t have to scrub the burned-on bits off of the pans after dinner.
# 1. Veggie Sheet Pan Fajitas
This fun Veggie Fajita recipe from Hello Glow made my list because I LOVE mushrooms. If you’ve been following me at all, you know they are frequently featured in my breakfasts and other meals. They are full of phytonutrients and nutritional mushrooms have so many amazing purposes. This recipe also features butternut squash and colored peppers for a nice dose of vitamin A and C. The spice rub is super easy to throw together and there’s even a fun cashew crema that you can make and drizzle on. (If you don’t feel up to this extra step, you could always leave it off.)

#2. Roasted Vegetable Masala
If you enjoy Indian food you’ll want to give this Roasted Vegetable Masala recipe from Low Carb Maven a try. The tomato and spice rub is reminiscent of Aloo Gobi. (A cauliflower curry dish common in many Indian restaurants.) The veggies come out caramelized and flavorful and the house smells AMAZING! This rub would be fantastic on just about anything, so don’t limit it to this recipe. Give it a try on other veggies too. If you don’t have Masala, you can sub in curry powder, but the flavor will be different.

#6. Za’atar Spiced Veggie Sheet Pan Dinner
I’m not going to lie. One of the reasons that I picked this Za’atar Spiced Veggie Sheet Pan Dinner from Oh My Veggies is the use of Za’atar spice mix. I love getting a chance to use different spices and herbs and this adds a unique flavor. Za’atar spice is generally a mix of dried oregano, thyme, and/or marjoram, sumac, and toasted sesame seeds. The other reason is that I loved the colorful mix of vegetables. It’s so beautiful AND nutrient dense.

Then add in some chickpeas or hummus, and you have a flavorful, fun, and nutrient-dense meal.

#11. Fall Harvest Sheet Pan Meal With Rosemary & Lemon Garlic Tahini Sauce
I love easy meals and this one is pretty simple. Butternut squash is an excellent source of vitamin A.

Tahini sauce adds some heary healthy fats, too!

Genius!
