What are sheet pan meals?

A sheet pan meal refers to a meal that fits onto one sheet pan and cooks as a single dish. This type of meal is simple and quick to make, even for beginners in the kitchen.

You may also hear sheet pans being called baking sheets, baking pans, or baking trays. All four names mean the same thing - they refer to a flat, rectangular pan that is made out of heat-conducting metal.

Creating sheet pan meals is the perfect way to ease yourself into cooking and they're a great choice when you're short on time but still want to make a healthy and satisfying dish for dinner. After all, eating delicious food can boost your mood and help you to maintain great mental health.

You can add a wide range of ingredients to a sheet pan. They are great for cooking lean proteins such as fish or chicken together with veggies.
