15 Easiest Kid-Friendly Sheet Pan Dinners

I’m officially obsessed with the idea of sheet pan dinners. It’s sort of like the one-pot meal idea or the throw-everything-in-a-slow-cooker type of meal. Meats and veggies and seasonings are all piled onto a sheet pan and baked in the oven, and then boom—that’s dinner! The best part? Cleaning up. Just one sheet pan needs to be washed and you’re done. One thing that I really like to do when I make these types of meals is to line my pan with a heavy duty foil, and then cleaning up is even easier. Here are fifteen great sheet pan dinner recipes to get you started. The key to these recipes are that they’re super family-friendly, so you’re not stuck making a second meal for the kids.
