#sheetpan dinner

Lamb with onions and cabbage. Two pounds of lamb cubes marinaded for a couple hours in olive oil (like 1/2 cup), the juice and zest of a lemon, three cloves of pressed garlic and some salt, and the whole sheetpan given an additional drizzle of oil, sprinkle of salt and hearty grind of pepper before going in a preheated oven to roast at 450 for half an hour.

Sheetpan Barbecue Meatloaf Dinner with Roasted Sweet Potato and Broccoli

I’m not going to wax poetic about sheetpan dinners again, even if they are the best. This Sheetpan Barbecue Meatloaf Dinner was from Budget Bytes, which is an awesome site. You enter how many servings you want to make, and the recipe amounts are adjusted for you. How amazing is that?

I pretty much made the recipe as is. The only exceptions were that I didn’t mix the sweet potato with seasoning but instead added a dash of maple syrup for the last 10 minutes, and I used fresh broccoli instead of frozen. So the timing was sweet potatoes- 10 minutes. Add meatloaf and broccoli- 10 minutes. Add syrup to sweet potatoes and mix- 10 minutes. 

The meatloaf was fantastic. It was moist and had great flavor. It also made the perfect amount for two people (it doesn’t look like a huge amount, but that’s because my plates are big). The veggies were also really good, but that wasn’t a surprise given that I roast veggies a couple of nights a week, because yum.

One-Pan Garlic-Parmesan Veggies and Sausage

Seriously, sheetpan dinners are the best. One pan, minimal clean up, and simple food. What’s not to love?

Tonight’s dinner was One Pan Healthy Sausage and Veggies from Chelsea’s Messy Apron. I changed the recipe name for me so I could remember what this dinner actually was and because I refuse to call anything recipe that calls for sausage and 6 Tbs of olive oil “healthy”. It was good, though. 

I changed the red potato for sweet potato mostly because I had a sweet potato, though the red potato would be good, and the green beans for asparagus (added the last 15 minutes of baking), because roasted green beans are not my thing. I also decreased the olive oil, and the next time I think I’d decrease it even more. It wasn’t oily by any means, but just so many extra calories! I used smoked turkey sausage, but it was a little salty for our tastes, so next time I might use turkey kielbasa instead.
