13 Easy Sheet Pan Dinners

If there’s one thing I appreciate when cooking dinner for my family, it’s a meal that doesn’t leave me with a mountain of dirty dishes! That’s why I’m such a big fan of sheet pan dinners. Most of the cooking happens right in the oven, so there’s less time spent standing over the stove and more time to get on with everything else. And you can do SO much with a simple baking sheet. From juicy chicken and roasted veggies to homemade pizza, crispy tacos, and meatless meals, I’ve rounded up 13 easy sheet pan dinners that’ll help you save time, money, and a whole lot of washing up!

Chicken is one of the easiest meats to find at the grocery store, and there are loads of ways to prepare it. It’s also a great choice for sheet pan dinners because it cooks relatively quickly and takes on all sorts of delicious seasonings and sauces. Winner winner chicken dinner!

Lemon, garlic, and oregano give this sheet pan Greek-inspired chicken and vegetables a bright, savory flavor…then some feta and Kalamata olives make it even better! It takes about 50 minutes from start to finish, including a 10-minute head start for the tomatoes, peppers, and onions. My tip? Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before roasting so they’re ready at roughly the same time as the veggies.

A little pesto can go a long way! This easy sheet pan pesto chicken dinner uses only ¼ cup to flavor four servings of chicken, paired with roasted tomatoes, baby potatoes, and melted mozzarella. I’d look for an inexpensive store-brand pesto and freeze any leftovers in small portions for future meals. It’s a simple way to stretch one jar across several dinners!

A takeout favorite, made easier in the oven (say LESS!) This family-friendly sheet pan sweet and sour chicken has juicy pineapple, bell peppers, onions, and bite-sized chicken pieces, all tossed in a homemade sticky, tangy sauce. My family absolutely looooves this one! I also appreciate that the oven roasts everything while you prepare the sauce, instead of managing a fast-moving stir-fry. Spoon it over fluffy rice, and dinner is sorted before you know it.

BBQ Favorites

There’s something just so good about BBQ sauce once it’s been heated in the oven. The sugars start to caramelize, creating a glossy, sticky coating with extra flavor around the edges. And you don’t need to fire up the grill to get those delicious barbecue flavors! These easy sheet pan dinners turn two family favorites, meatballs and meatloaf, into simple sheet pan meals with minimal cleanup.

6. Sheet Pan BBQ Meatballs

These ground turkey sheet pan BBQ meatballs roast alongside sweet pineapple, peppers, and onions, with bottled BBQ sauce doing double duty as a seasoning and glaze. You can fit everything onto one sheet pan, although I’d use two if you have them to give the veggies more room to caramelize. Add a side of rice, and you’ve got four satisfying servings that are great for meal prep, too.

7. Sheet Pan BBQ Meatloaf

Make an entire dinner for two at one time with this fast and easy Sheet Pan BBQ Meatloaf Dinner. Perfect for meal prep!

Meatloaf is an all-American comfort food classic, so of course we had to give it the sheet pan treatment AND a BBQ makeover! Instead of one large loaf, this sheet pan BBQ meatloaf recipe makes two individual beef meatloaves with a sticky barbecue topping. Sweet potatoes and frozen broccoli roast on the same pan, so you’ve got your main and two sides taken care of. I especially like that you can cook the vegetables straight from frozen, saving time and reducing waste!
