What is a sheet pan dinner?
If you’ve never heard of a sheet pan dinner, let me start by explaining what they are. Sheet pan dinners are a meal that you cook in the oven on a sheet pan or cookie sheet. They usually consist of lots of fresh veggies and meat cut up and spread out on a sheet pan with oil and various seasonings. However, they can also range from Sheet Pan Pancakes for breakfast to Sheet Pan Ruebens for lunch. There’s no limit to what you can make on a sheet pan, except maybe soup!
