The Best Sheet Pan Dinner Recipes for Easy Weeknight Meals

Stuffed Poblanos

This spicy sheet pan dinner recipe takes less than 30 minutes to get on the table, making it a great meal, with great flavors, to have in your lineup for busy nights. Large poblano peppers (broiled for about five minutes) are stuffed with a mix of ground Italian turkey sausage and ground beef, then combined with ready-to-serve Spanish rice.

Top it all off with enchilada sauce and cheese, putting it back under the broil for a couple more minutes. From there, all that’s left to do is serve it up and watch your family clean their plates!

Roasted Vegetable Chili with Cornbread Biscuits

Sheet pan chili might sound like a crazy idea, but hear us out: this vegetarian-friendly recipe is packed with nutritious ingredients but doesn’t require you to stand over a simmering pot all night long. Both the chili and the biscuits are placed on the same baking sheet, so you’ll be doing minimal cleaning once dinner is made.

And since this recipe clearly breaks down the timing of each step, it’s easy to end up with flawless, fabulously cooked biscuits and perfect chili.

Sheet Pan Sausage and Pepper Hoagies

Who doesn’t love a good hoagie? These sausage and pepper hoagies take just 10 minutes of prep time, breaking all kinds of records for fast weeknight dinners. Once everything is in the oven, you have 30 minutes to do whatever you want - talk about a luxury that doesn’t come around that often!

Your family gets to enjoy a classic favorite, and you get to cut down on time spent in the kitchen, earning this recipe a five-star review from us.

Sheet Pan Shrimp Scampi

Usually, you’d assume that shrimp scampi is as far as you can get from an easy weeknight dinner. But this recipe puts a sheet pan spin on this seafood dish, and it boasts impressively favorable feedback from online commenters.

Everything from your shrimp and veggies to the thick slices of French bread takes its turn on the pan. It’s a wonderful dish for summer nights because it uses seasonal produce like summer squash and zucchini; plus, shrimp scampi is much better when enjoyed al fresco.

Sheet Pan Lemon Garlic Chicken

It’s always a good idea to have some staple meals up your sleeve for those evenings when you want something simple but not bland or boring. This recipe for sheet pan chicken combines chicken thighs and drumsticks for variety, adding in baby red potatoes and a generous helping of garlic and herbs.

If you really want to wow your family, garnish each dish with a bit of lemon zest for that special something. Pair this meal with a quick salad, and you have a healthy sheet pan dinner recipe worthy of a regular spot in your rotation.

Sheet Pan Curried Chicken

Who would have thought that you could enjoy the complex, layered flavors of curry from a single sheet pan? The secret to this recipe is the pre-made curry paste: look for a high-quality option that’s full of flavor for the best results. Both the chicken and vegetables are covered in a savory sauce, then roasted to perfection in the oven.

If you happen to have leftover rice on hand or don’t mind using an extra pan to make a fresh pot, rice is a tasty base for this main course.

No-Fry Sheet Pan Eggplant Parmesan

Don’t tell the Italian grandmothers, but we’ve found a better way to make eggplant parmesan. Instead of dealing with the mess of frying the eggplant, this sheet pan recipe uses the oven to achieve a crisp exterior. You’ll find yourself using a fraction of the oil, making this a healthier eggplant parmesan recipe, and enjoying the meal just as much.

To be fair, this recipe does ask you to use a skillet to prepare the tomato sauce topping. But, if you’re really running short on time or energy, you can swap the homemade sauce for your favorite jarred variety instead.

Sheet Pan Chicken and Waffles

Breakfast for dinner, anyone? Chicken and waffles are one of those indulgent breakfast dishes that can turn your entire day around, especially when you’re eating it at dinnertime. The crushed cornflakes give the chicken a perfectly crunchy coating, while the sour cream coating seals in the flavor.

Sure, you’ll have to spend a little bit of time prepping the chicken. But you’ll get that time back when you use frozen waffles for this sheet pan meal - as they say, work smarter, not harder!
