sheet pan

Flat oven surface

A sheet pan is a flat, rectangular metal tray with low raised edges, used for baking and roasting.

Standard sizes include half-sheet and quarter-sheet, referring to fractions of a full commercial pan.

The low sides allow heat to circulate, making sheet pans ideal for roasting vegetables or cooking sheet pan dinners—one-pan meals where everything roasts together.
