If we’re being completely honest, when it comes to weeknight cooking, we can take or leave all the fancy gadgets and appliances. What we really rely on? The humble sheet pan. Here are 15 of our favorite quick recipes for fall, because less time spent worrying about dinner means more time for apple picking and pumpkin carving and PSL sipping (sorry, not sorry).
15 Fall Sheet-Pan Recipes to Try for Dinner
Sheet Pan Lemon Butter Veggies And Sausage
Use whatever veggies you can find at the farmers market (or what’s left in the fridge)—they’ll all taste great basted with this addictive lemon-garlic butter.
Mediterranean Pork Tenderloin With Roasted Vegetables
We love this combo of sweet fennel and caramelized onions with juicy, herb-crusted pork loins from Coterie member Katie Workman.
One-pan Sesame Ginger Salmon And Broccoli
Who needs a wok when you have a sheet pan? We love the fab Asian flavors in this one-pan wonder.
Sheet Pan Indian-spiced Chicken
We’ll take this over takeout any day.
Game Day Sheet Pan Nachos Two Ways
Coterie member Heidi Larsen has the right idea, with these easy (and not too sinful) sheet pan nachos. Plus, they’re topped with chicken and veggies, so dinner is done.
Sheet Pan Maple Apricot Chicken
The sticky-sweet marinade for this chicken doubles as the glaze, making this a meal-prep dream.
Sheet-pan Stuffing With Sausage And Spinach
This would be great as a Thanksgiving side, but it’s so easy and delicious, we’d like to advocate for making it all autumn long.
Sheet Pan Zucchini Meatballs With Coconut Curry Sauce
Making meatballs in the oven is a total game-changer. No mess, no oil and no extra dishes. (Thanks, Coterie member Monique Volz.)
15-minute Sheet Pan Beef And Broccoli
The only drawback? It doesn’t come with a fortune cookie.
Sheet Pan Peri Peri Chicken
Trust us (and Coterie member Phoebe Lapine), this spicy red pepper sauce is everything.
Sheet Pan Maple-mustard Pork Tenderloin
Maple, mustard and pork are a classic combination. Throw in some potatoes and broccoli and dinner is done, thanks to Coterie Member Liz Falcigno.
Sheet Pan Harissa Chicken With Chickpeas And Sweet Potatoes
Keeping a jar of harissa in the pantry transforms a boring chicken dinner into a spicy, Middle Eastern feast.
Sheet Pan Honey Lemon Salmon & Broccolini
We love to serve this with some steamed rice (or cauliflower rice) to sop up all that great honey-lemon sauce.
Keto Sheet Pan Chicken And Rainbow Veggies
Who knew keto could be this easy, delicious and gorgeous?
Smoked Sausage And Apple Sheet Pan Dinner
The best way to use up all the apples you picked over the weekend.
