Switch it up for a variety
The thing we love about sheet pan suppers (besides the fact that they are ridiculously simple to make is that the ingredients can easily be swapped out to create a ton of different meals. You can add sausage or steak in place of the chicken for a completely different type of meal. You could switch out the autumn veggies for summer ones like squash and zucchini during warmer months. Try substituting the BBQ sauce for Teriyaki sauce and the veggies for carrots and broccoli. Serve over rice for an easy asian inspired meal.
The process stays the same, but the possibilities are endless. Your family is sure to thank you! Easy, yet deliciously healthy meals that are sure to be crowd pleasers. And the best part for moms…only one dish to clean up!
