Sheet Pan Meal
As I presume many can relate to, I find my schedule to be quite full and sadly cannot tend to each one of my meals. Days like these call for something quick and easy, but still packed with comforting flavors! There are dozens of nutrient-dense combinations that go wonderfully together, speaking from experience. All that needs to be done is some slicing and sprinkling on spices, then letting the oven to the rest of the work, while the house gradually smells more and more appealing. Whether this is all piled on a bed of greens, dipped in your favorite sauce, or simply served right off the bat, this is bound to become a new staple in your home as well!
Ingredients:
1 medium sweet potato, diced
1-2 cups kale/red cabbage
1/2 cup brussels sprouts, shaved thin
1-2 cloves garlic, minced finely
1 tbsp dried oregano
1/2 tbsp fresh pepper
1/2 turmeric
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the sweet potato and other veggies as listed or as preferred.
Transfer straight to the pan, in their respective food groups and with space between. This extra room will allow the food to become extra and more evenly crispy!
Spray or drizzle lightly with avocado oil, then evenly distribute the minced garlic, pepper, and oregano on top. I usually sprinkle the turmeric on the sweet potatoes.
On the middle rack, cook for 20-24 minutes, depending on how crispy you like everything to be.
Serve with avocado slices and buffalo ranch, if you’re like me, then enjoy!
Notes:
The ingredients listed above are merely suggestions. I have made dozens of different sheet pan meals, with the same instructions and it has never failed. Getting creative is highly encouraged, although this combo is quite tasty!
This quick trick is also great for meal prepping and throwing on top of a salad!
Adjust the spices and seasonings to suit your taste buds. I have been known to use cayenne pepper + cumin on the red cabbage quite frequently as well.
The black pepper increases the bioavailability of turmeric’s anti-inflammatory perks, among many others. Therefore, I aim to always pair them together, whenever a sheet pan meal is what’s on the menu!
