5 Sheet Pan Dinners

Sheet Pan Dinners Ideas

Before hopping into meal-prep mode, a really important element of home cooking is having the right tools for the job. That means making sure your kitchen is fully stocked with high-quality cookware, pot holders, tongs, and of course, sheet pans. The Home Depot has become our one-stop-shop for a wide assortment of cookware supplies, and lucky for us, they’ve made online shopping easier than ever. Think free shipping over $45, flexible delivery options like free in-store pickup, or super quick shipping right to your door. And of course, free returns, just in case you need a swap. The New Year is the perfect time to give your kitchenware collection a refresh, and The Home Depot has great values on cookware you’ll use day in and day out.

So without further adieu, let’s put those sheet pans to work with five tasty meals to whip up any night of the week.

One Pan Lemon Butter Garlic Shrimp

When you’ve got a hungry family to feed, sometimes you need dinner FAST. This one-pan wonder is the answer. You’ll start by roasting your asparagus and adding in your shrimp at the last six minutes. The overall cook time is about 15 minutes, which means dinner is on the table quicker than any takeout option out there. Serve this with a side of rice (grab a microwave bag for extra convenience), and you have a healthy meal everyone will love.

INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a sheet pan with foil and lightly spray with cooking spray. Add asparagus and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add 1 minced garlic clove, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Toss until evenly coated then line asparagus in a single layer. Roast for 4-6 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, remove tails from shrimp. Then, remove pan from oven and push asparagus to one side of the pan (keep in a single layer). Add shrimp and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add 2-3 minced garlic cloves, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon paprika, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, 1/8-1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes and fresh parsley. Toss until evenly coated then line shrimp in a single layer.

3. Top asparagus with 1 tablespoon cubed butter, evenly spaced. Top shrimp with 2 tablespoons cubed butter, evenly spaced. Roast for 6 minutes or until shrimp is opaque. Remove pan from oven and drizzle with lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Sheet Pan Chicken Tacos Al Pastor

Whether it’s Taco Tuesday or any time a craving strikes, we believe tacos are always a good idea. This version begins with a tangy chipotle marinade, which helps gives your chicken a maximum flavor punch. You’ll roast your chicken with fresh pineapple placed on top and serve immediately in delicious warm tortillas. The toppings are totally your call, but we highly recommend the creamy avocado salsa and a generous squeeze of lime.

Roasted Chicken Gyros with Tzatziki & Feta Fries

Is there anything better than homemade Greek food? Our answer: No way. While this recipe requires using multiple sheet pans, it’s so worth the extra clean-up. One sheet pan will be used for your chicken, while you’ll want two more for those feta fries.  Pro tip: when roasting your potatoes (we made a thick-cut variation) don’t overcrowd the pan. You want those fries to crisp rather than steam, so space them out between two pans with plenty of room to breathe.

INGREDIENTS

• 1/2 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
• 5 garlic cloves, finely minced or grated
• 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano
• Kosher salt and black pepper
• 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 6 fresh pitas or naan bread, warmed
• Tzatziki, pickled onions, radish, and lettuce, for serving

Thick-Cut Feta Fries

• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced or grated
• 3 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
• ½ to 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• Kosher salt and black pepper
• 4 medium russet potatoes, cut into ¼-inch-thick matchsticks
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a 9 x 13-inch baking dish, combine the yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, paprika, oregano, and a pinch each of salt and black pepper. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Cover and marinate in the fridge for at least 1 hour.

2. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Remove the chicken from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature while the oven preheats.

3. Transfer the chicken to a full-size sheet pan and roast in the oven for 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken and let cool for 5 minutes. Shred the chicken or thinly slice.

4. Meanwhile, make the fries. Whisk together the olive oil, garlic, oregano, cayenne, and salt and black pepper to taste. Place the potatoes in a large bowl and pour over half the garlic mixture. Gently toss to coat. Divide the fries between two baking sheets, arranging them in a single layer. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, then flip, reduce the oven temperature to 400 degrees F, and bake for 15 to 20 minutes more. Remove from the oven and toss with the remaining garlic mix and the feta.

5. Assemble the chicken inside gyro wraps or sandwich style and serve with the fries, tzatziki, pickled red onions, and radishes.

Everything Bagel Salmon & Veggies

Salmon is one of our favorites weeknight dinners, but it can feel a bit boring without proper seasoning. *Enter* this Everything Bagel version that elevates homemade salmon to a restaurant-worthy meal. You’ll want to pick up “Everything But the Bagel” seasoning from Trader Joe’s, but you can also find a similar version from most major grocery stores. You’ll start the cooking process by giving your potatoes a head-start in the oven and add the veggies and salmon towards the end. Out of all the sheet pan dinners, this one couldn’t be easier.
