sheet pan meals
One-pan cooking
Sheet pan meals are dishes where all ingredients—typically a protein and vegetables—cook together on a single rimmed baking sheet.
The appeal is convenience: minimal prep, one-pan cleanup, and hands-off roasting.
I made a sheet pan meal with chicken thighs and broccoli.
The term emerged with food blogs and reflects contemporary interest in efficient weeknight cooking.
