EatingWell's Editorial Guidelines Published on March 17, 2023 Share Tweet Pin Email Trending Videos Photo: Photography / Fred Hardy, Styling / Ruth Blackburn All you need is a sheet pan to make one of these healthy and delicious dinners. Combining lean protein with seasonal produce like asparagus, avocados, broccoli and carrots, you'll want to make these one-pan meals over and over again. Plus, they're even easier to prepare with only three steps or less. Recipes like our Sheet-Pan Shrimp & Asparagus and Sheet-Pan Balsamic-Parmesan Roasted Chickpeas & Vegetables are flavorful and simple dinners for spring. 01 of 12 Sheet-Pan Shrimp & Asparagus View Recipe Photography / Fred Hardy, Styling / Ruth Blackburn This sheet-pan shrimp and asparagus is a complete meal all on one pan! The shrimp and asparagus cook perfectly together. Crushed red pepper adds a dash of heat while lime juice brightens the dish. 02 of 12 Sheet-Pan Maple-Mustard Pork Chops & Carrots View Recipe You need just one pan for this satisfying weeknight dinner. A sweet and savory maple-mustard glaze livens up baked pork chops, while the carrots are jazzed up with flavor-boosting and anti-inflammatory garlic, ginger and turmeric. Rainbow carrots add colorful pizazz, but regular orange carrots are a just-as-tasty substitute. Pork dries out easily--using an instant-read thermometer ensures meat is cooked safely, but still moist. 03 of 12 Garlic Butter-Roasted Salmon with Potatoes & Asparagus View Recipe This one-pan salmon and potatoes recipe makes a healthy and satisfying weeknight dinner. Melted garlic butter coats the salmon and vegetables, adding depth of flavor and richness to the dish. 04 of 12 Honey-Harissa Chicken Thighs View Recipe Jacob Fox Harissa, a hot chile pepper paste that hails from northern Africa, adds tons of flavor and shines when it's combined with honey to make a sweet coating slathered on chicken thighs. Serve with brown rice and roasted carrots. 05 of 12 Sheet-Pan Balsamic-Parmesan Roasted Chickpeas & Vegetables View Recipe A tangy, balsamic dressing and nutty Parmesan cheese combine to coat tender roasted vegetables and chickpeas in this springy vegetarian dinner. To keep it vegetarian, serve it over quinoa or, for meat-eaters, serve with roasted chicken or pan-seared fish. 06 of 12 Salmon & Asparagus with Lemon-Garlic Butter Sauce View Recipe Looking for a recipe to help you eat more heart-healthy fish and veggies? Add this salmon and asparagus dinner to your rotation. Not only is it healthy and delicious, this sheet-pan dinner is also easy to make and a breeze to clean up. 07 of 12 Sheet-Pan Balsamic-Parmesan Chicken & Vegetables View Recipe This flavorful dish--with the combination of balsamic vinegar and Parmesan cheese--makes a great weeknight meal since it requires little legwork (and only one pan!). The marjoram adds a distinct earthy aroma. If you don't have marjoram in your spice arsenal, you can use dried oregano instead. Both have a woodsy flavor that complements the dish beautifully. 08 of 12 Sheet-Pan Sweet Potato Fajitas View Recipe Greg Dupree These vegetarian sheet-pan sweet potato fajitas are mild and tender with a little bit of char from the broiler. The colorful toppings add freshness and texture. 09 of 12 Sheet-Pan Caprese Pizza View Recipe This light and flavorful caprese pizza is ready when the tomatoes are just heated through and the mozzarella cheese is slightly melted. If you want a little more on this pizza, it'd be delicious with a few slices of prosciutto. Chef tip: let your dough come up to room temperature before you stretch it--it'll make it much easier to work with. 10 of 12 Ginger Roasted Salmon & Broccoli View Recipe This quick Asian salmon recipe uses the sauce for both glazing the salmon and tossing with the broccoli. Serve over rice noodles or brown rice tossed with sesame oil and scallions. 11 of 12 Roasted Chicken Thighs, Potatoes & Scallions with Herb Vinaigrette View Recipe Roasting chicken thighs directly on top of the vegetables bastes the scallions and potatoes with delicious drippings in this healthy dinner recipe. 12 of 12 Sheet-Pan Shrimp Fajitas View Recipe Photographer / Brie Passano, Food Stylist / Annie Probst, Prop Stylist / Holly Raibikis Fajitas make an excellent weeknight meal. These come together faster than ever, using quick-cooking shrimp and veggies all on one sheet pan so you can focus on family rather than cleanup. Was this page helpful? Thanks for your feedback!
