Just the recipe. Every time. Because I know that’s what you're here for 😉
½ bag Brussels sprouts
2 large carrots
1 medium onion
4 small red or gold potatoes
4tb olive oil
2 tsp season salt
1 tsp rosemary
1 tsp black pepper
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and begin by washing all your vegetables.
Cut the ends off the Brussels sprouts, and then cut them in half. This is a personal preference but I feel they are easier to eat this way and they tend to cook better.
As you are cutting your sprouts examine them for signs of cabbage worms. Any with holes should be tossed. This is another good reason to always cut your sprouts in half. Nothing worse than finding a cabbage worm mid-bite. Yikes!
Cut your carrots into ¼ or ½ inch medallions. The potatoes can also be sliced ¼ inch thick and cut into halves or quarters depending on the size of them.
Onions should be chopped into larger sized chunks to help keep them from burning. Don’t worry they will become much sweeter as they cook!
Drizzle olive oil over your vegetables and toss ensuring the vegetables are well coated. Add your seasonings and place into a preheated oven for 35-45 minutes or until vegetables are no longer crunchy and have begun to turn golden.
That’s it! Sheet pan bakes make for such an easy meal or side dish and they are perfect for customizing.Today I used what I had in the fridge, but some other great additions would have been celery, broccoli, tomato, Bella mushrooms and beets. I usually serve these veggies over jasmine rice but they would also be great with some Lo Mein noodles and served with grilled chicken.
Feeling southwest style? Do onions, peppers, sweet potatoes and chicken. Season with cumin, chili powder, and minced garlic. Then serve with beans, cheese, tortillas and sour cream. Top with cilantro.
Is seafood your thing? Try golden potatoes, onions, peppers, corn on the cob and shrimp. Season with old bay and minced garlic. Serve with butter and lemon wedges. Here is a version of a shrimp sheet pan roast I made a couple weeks back that turned out great!
**Please note different veggies and meats need different baking times. The best way to ensure everything cooks properly is to plan ahead and add vegetables or meats in at the proper time.
Extra Tips
Root vegetables tend to take around 45 minutes at 400 degrees to cook. Broccoli and bell peppers take around 30 minutes at that temperature. Corn takes around 20 minutes on the cob.
Raw chicken takes around 25 minutes (make sure to cook it on a separate pan from your veggies). Some easier options if you don’t like cooking chicken would be to buy it pre-cooked and sliced in the frozen aisle and then you can just add it in with your veggies. Another great option is using a rotisserie chicken, especially if you have leftovers that need to be used up.
Raw shrimp cooks fast! It only takes 6-8 minutes in the oven at 400 degrees. Make sure if you purchase your shrimp frozen to thaw them first before baking.
I hope this will be helpful for those nights when cooking feels like a chore and you just want to toss food on a sheet and go rest for a while. Let me know your favorite sheet pan recipes in the comments below!
