The best sheet pan dinners start with Reynold’s Non Stick foil lining the pan. Easy clean up and nothing sticks! Love the stuff!
Nigella calls these traybakes. I just made one with chicken and chorizo. These type of meals make life easy. Throw it all in a pan, set the oven, and voila!
LOLOLOL! This reminds me of the latest gimmick advertised on TV — Eat this Book dinners. The pages of the book are parchment paper and have line drawings on them like a coloring book. You rip out the page, put meat, vegetables, etc. on the drawings, fold up the page like a packet and bake. Sort of like those foil packets we made on the campfire in Girl Scouts. For $14.95 (maybe $19.95) you get enough pages for 200 dinners and desserts. The same woman who advertises those copper pans is touting this Eat this Book scheme which insures that you need NO PANS. Ironic!
I confess I mostly use my sheet pan to cook bacon and breakfast sausage. I have used it for roasted fresh vegetables. I’m going to check out your links JT, because I’m definitely interested in making a whole sheet pan dinner....especially for one.
Toss with olive oil, salt and Italian seasoning.
Roast at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
Grate Parmesan over it and eat.
You can add in some smoked sausage if you want to make it a main dish.
Serve with with buttered rice or pasta to stretch it out.
If I am just cooking for me I just have the vegetables.
Picked up some grill mats on sale from Amzon.

Was hoping to try them out in oven before outside grilling. They seem to be suitable for certain kinds of the same recipes being mentioned.
Anyone have experience using these?
