Making a meal on a hot sheet pan simplifies your life, while cutting back on the number of dishes you have to wash. It’s also a powerful way to infuse deep, roasted flavor into your veggies and sear a crisp crust on your veggie proteins, including beans, nuts and veggie sausage. Together, we’ll make three easy sheet pan recipes: cauliflower and chickpea shawarma, roasted veggie burritos, and beet & veggie hash.
After the Holidays, we all need a little help getting back on track with our healthful eating goals.
