Sheet-pan dinners

3 recipes in this collection.

A half-sheet pan straight from the oven on a folded striped cream-and-blue linen tea towel on a white marble counter, holding four bone-in skin-on chicken thighs with shatter-crispy deeply golden brown skin, halved brussels sprouts with charred edges and bright green centers, wedges of orange sweet potato with deeply caramelized cut sides, and a halved lemon nestled at one corner. Scattered fresh dill sprigs and chopped dill across the pan, with a small ceramic bowl of flaky salt and a small ceramic dish of olive oil beside the sheet pan. Soft late-afternoon light from the kitchen window.

There’s no dinner I love more on a tired night than one that cooks on a single sheet pan. You heat the oven, crowd a tray with something good, and twenty-some minutes later dinner is done with exactly one pan to wash.

This is a small collection for now, and I’m adding to it as I work out new favorites. Both of these are weeknight staples in my kitchen, with crispy edges and a whole dinner roasting together on one tray.

A parchment-lined half-sheet pan straight from the oven on a folded striped cream-and-blue linen tea towel on a white marble counter, holding four salmon fillets with deeply golden crispy edges and pale-pink moist centers, surrounded by deeply charred broccoli florets, smashed garlic cloves, and a halved lemon (cut-side up). Scattered fresh dill sprigs and chopped chives across the pan. Beside the pan: a wide cream-speckled stoneware bowl of cooked lemon orzo glossy with butter and dotted with bright green herbs, a small dish of flaky salt, and a small clear glass cruet of olive oil. Soft afternoon kitchen light.
