Why I Love Sheet Pan Dinners

This is truly one of my favorite ways to make a healthy weeknight dinner! I love making sheet pan meals because...

The cleanup is FAST! You've cooked with one pan so dishes are no stress.
You can get a bunch of bright colors on the pan and really see the rainbow of nutrition you're eating.
It's SO EASY to do some prep work early in the day or week. Chop your veggies and measure seasonings when you have time, then toss them all on the pan before dinner!
You don't need much in the way of sides to make a complete, filling meal. I like to serve a little quinoa and hummus and voila! Dinner is served!

All About Sweet Potatoes

I LOVE sweet potatoes. They're the most perfect way to add a little sweetness and a lot of color onto your plate! Their vibrant orange color lets you know you are getting all that immune-boosting vitamin A (also helpful for vision and bone health). You’re also getting dietary fiber and potassium, and they’re high in vitamin C.

Compared to russet potatoes, sweet potatoes are similar in calories but higher in fiber. Just ONE sweet potato has 700% of your daily vitamin A. 700%! They also have twice the vitamin C of a russet potato.

All About Chickpeas

You know how much I love chickpeas (aka garbanzo beans!). They're a pantry staple that I always have on hand. It's the quickest way (when using canned rather than cooking from scratch) to add protein into a vegan meal, they're inexpensive, and they're just so versatile! When cooked with a little oil they get perfectly crispy and add the most satisfying crunch to your bowl.

Chickpeas are considered a legume, which means they contain plant-based protein, fiber, and complex carbs. They are also an excellent source of folic acid. Plus, they are low in fat and contain no cholesterol. Chickpeas digest slowly (keeping you fuller longer) and are filling without making you feel stuffed.

The Best Vegan Feta

My favorite vegan feta is VioLife (not sponsored). I get it at my local Sprouts and it's so, so good for sprinkling on my favorite dinners. It's the perfect topping for almost any vegan Greek food!

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Place the sweet potatoes, onions and chickpeas on a rimmed half sheet baking sheet. Toss with olive oil and seasonings. Spread out on the baking sheet so nothing is touching. Roast for 30 minutes (tossing at 15 minutes) until sweet potatoes are fork tender and golden brown.

Sliced red onion on a wooden cutting board next to quinoa, tzatziki, chickpeas and a knife on a white marble surface.

Diced sweet potatoes on a wooden cutting board next to quinoa, tzatziki, chickpeas and a knife on a white marble surface.

3. Serve with vegan feta and Kalamata olives overtop cooked quinoa along with hummus, vegan tzatziki sauce and/or herbed tahini sauce.

Modifications and Substitutions

While sweet potatoes, red onion, chickpeas and olives make up the foundation of this Greek cuisine, that's not to say you can't add more or make a few swaps! Feel free to use other fresh veggies such as red bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, butternut squash or black olives.

Also, if you prefer cauliflower rice or brown rice over quinoa, have at it! And feel free to top with fresh herbs and some lemon juice for some extra brightness.
