I’m an Instant Pot kinda bitch. I like to throw everything in the pot, set the timer, and walk away while the equipment does the heavy lifting.

But occasionally, when I’m feeling frisky… a little Martha-adjacent, I’m in the mood for a good sheet pan meal.

These meals are delicious, easy AF, and they keep meal prep from getting boring for your family. You can literally take this template, swap the spices and veggies, and turn it into a completely different cuisine.

And if you’re someone who hasn’t quite fallen in love with cooking yet, this is a perfect entry-level recipe.

Put on your favourite podcast, tune out the kids fighting, yelling, or asking you for their 487th snack, and slip into the peaceful world of cathartic vegetable chopping, spice sprinkling, and a little culinary magic-making.

Come dinner time, you and those little cuties will admire your kitchen prowess when you present this gorgeous meal.
