“I made these Hot Honey Parmesan Carrots one year for Easter dinner, and they were a hit! Simply coat your carrots and spread them out on a sheet pan to bake. They get so tender this way and the spicy, savory flavor is unmatched.”—Danielle DeAngelis, associate news & trending editor

“This recipe has been in my family’s dinner rotation for years. We love the roasted Brussels, how the gnocchi crisps up and the ease of a sheet-pan meal. The red wine vinegar in the final step adds a nice flavor, too.”—Emily Lachtrupp, registered dietitian
Garlic Butter-Roasted Salmon with Potatoes & Asparagus

“Two words: garlic butter. This is my favorite way to make salmon because it’s so flavorful yet so simple to prepare. Plus, I love that I can roast the vegetables on the same pan so the cleanup is quick. Depending on the season, I like to mix up the vegetables and swap out the asparagus for green beans or Brussels sprouts.”—Alex Loh, associate food editor
Chicken Shawarma with Yogurt Sauce
“This is a fantastic recipe to feed a crowd. I doubled the recipe and put out all the toppings and sauce so everyone could make their own sandwich. It was a hit with kids and adults alike. I also served with the EatingWell tahini sauce with lemon.”—Penelope Wall, assistant general manager
Sheet-Pan Sesame Chicken & Broccoli with Scallion-Ginger Sauce
“This sheet-pan dinner is one of my favorites of all time. I remember having a bite as it was being developed in the test kitchen and was hooked right from the start! The scallion-ginger sauce that gets drizzled over top makes all the difference. That, plus using skin-on chicken thighs. The skin crisps up beautifully and provides a nice crunch alongside the juicy chicken and tender broccoli.” — Victoria Seaver, editorial director
Sheet-Pan Roasted Root Vegetables

“My favorite way to prepare a veggie side is by roasting them on a sheet pan, especially root vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes and onions! I love that I can customize it with my favorite seasonings depending on what I’m serving.” —Danielle DeAngelis, associate news & trending editor
Sheet-Pan Chicken Fajita Bowls
“Ever since I discovered this chicken fajita bowls recipe, it has streamlined dinnertime at my house. Instead of having to make rice on the side or warm some tortillas, you get a complete meal made on a sheet pan: chicken, peppers, onions, kale and beans. The beans ensure that the dish is filling, and the crispy roasted kale is a healthy and fun addition. Don’t forget the spiced yogurt sauce on top!”—Megan Ginsberg, senior editor
Sheet-Pan Sausage & Peppers
“I was really surprised by how flavorful this was, even without the basil and parm. I skipped those because we didn’t have any but didn’t really miss them. This would be really good on a hoagie roll too with some mustard. Yum.”—Penelope Wall, assistant general manager
Sheet-Pan Crispy Chicken Tacos
Photographer: Jen Causey
“Whenever I roast a chicken, I know these tacos will be on my menu later in the week. The tacos get nice and crispy while the filling comes together easily. I like to mix it up occasionally and will add black beans to the filling.” —Alex Loh, associate food editor
Sheet-Pan Spiced Chickpeas & Sweet Potatoes with Herby Yogurt
“I am a huge fan of roasted chickpeas, and in this dish, they are tossed with spices before roasting so they’re packed with flavor. While the chickpeas roast on one sheet pan and sweet potato wedges roast on another, you whip up an herby yogurt sauce. Assembling the dish is as easy as spreading the yogurt sauce on a platter, and topping it with the chickpeas and sweet potatoes. A drizzle of pomegranate molasses adds a sweet-tangy note.”—Megan Ginsberg, senior editor
Loaded Sheet-Pan Nachos
“Nachos are the most underrated easy dinner that everyone loves. I like to load these up with seasoned black beans for some more fiber & protein.”—Penelope Wall, assistant general manager
