One of the best, easiest ways to cook is by using one pan, pot or sheet pan. This method of cooking tends to be simple yet brings out tremendous flavors from the ingredients used. I used sheet pan cooking recently to roast brats, onion and potatoes. The results were outstanding! 
With my success, I started thinking of all the other benefits of sheet pan
cooking. Here’s just a few –
- Easy prep and super easy clean-up.
- Extra flavorful dishes due to roasting (cooking with heat from both above and below.)
- Nutritious,
- Meat and vegetables cooked together with most recipes taking 15 to 30 minutes of cook time.
- Everyone gets to have their favorite ingredients.
- Easy way to try new foods.
At least once a week, I prepare some sort of protein along with veggies using sheet pan cooking. I hit the grocery store aisle to find out what’s on sale then build my meal around it. Roasting chicken or fish along with green beans or broccoli has become one of my families favorites along with my brats and potatoes. What’s fun about cooking like this is that you can experiment with new flavors. Mix in a new veggie,a handful of flavorful herbs or a spice that you’ve never cooked with before. So, go for it friends! Sheet pan cooking is easy cooking
, delicious eating and super easy clean-up
