My mom has become a sheet pan evangelist. After years of being an empty-nester and all but giving up on cooking, she has taken to this easy way of making dinner like a bird on new wings. My dad, who has had to learn how to fend for himself in the kitchen arena over the last few years, is nearly as happy about it as Mom is. A home cooked meal has returned to their house and it’s a win-win all around.
I’m not saying that my Mom hasn’t cooked or doesn’t cook, just that after several decades of feeding everyone 3 meals a day, she was pretty much over it. But when my kids with their voracious appetites started staying well past dinner time several nights per week she had to change her game plan. Even 11-year olds can get burned out on hamburgers and hot dogs.
Thanks to the internet, Mom has discovered the beauty of sheet pan dinners and I love that everyone’s dinner includes a lot more vegetables. The whole family loves stir fry, but it can be a little tricky to make in a wok or big skillet. So, I’ve turned a family favorite into an easy sheet pan dinner that everyone will love. This is a very customizable recipe, so feel free to swap the chicken for pork and the vegetables to the ones your family prefers. You could even replace the marinade with a bottle of your favorite pre-made Asian sauce.
What kind of sheet pan is the best for sheet pan dinners?
It’s actually called a half-sheet pan in the restaurant world. A full sheet pan wouldn’t fit in most ovens though. These are made from heavy duty aluminum and can go from freezer to oven and are nearly indestructible. They also offer much more even cooking than those weird flimsy, dark sheet pans that come with your cooking set.
