Make the most of fall flavors and ingredients with these delicious sheet-pan dinners. These recipes are packed with protein and seasonal veggies including sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, broccoli and more. Plus, they’re easy to prepare since you only need to toss ingredients together on a sheet pan before baking. You’ll want to try options like our Sheet-Pan Maple-Mustard Pork Chops & Carrots or our Sheet-Pan Sweet Potato Fajitas for an easy and satisfying meal that is perfect for cozy fall evenings.
Sheet-Pan Salmon with Sweet Potatoes & Broccoli
The vibrant combo of cheese, cilantro, chili, and lime—inspired by Mexican street corn—makes this salmon dish burst with flavor.
Sheet-Pan Roasted Butternut Squash Soup

Roasting the vegetables in the oven before blending them intensifies their flavors, resulting in a deeply rich and flavorful fall soup. We love the sweet and nutty flavor of butternut squash, but any winter squash with a similar texture, such as acorn, honeynut or kabocha squash, can be used in its place.
Sheet-Pan Maple-Mustard Pork Chops & Carrots
You need just one pan for this satisfying weeknight dinner. A sweet and savory maple-mustard glaze livens up baked pork chops, while the carrots are jazzed up with flavor-boosting and anti-inflammatory garlic, ginger and turmeric. Rainbow carrots add colorful pizazz, but regular orange carrots are a just-as-tasty substitute.
Sheet-Pan Sweet Potato Fajitas
These vegetarian sheet-pan sweet potato fajitas are mild and tender with a little bit of char from the broiler. The colorful toppings add freshness and texture.
Sheet-Pan Harissa Chicken & Vegetables
This one-pan dinner gets a hit of flavorful heat from harissa, the popular North African chile-and-garlic paste. We use harissa paste from a tube for this recipe. It’s got a concentrated chile flavor that makes an excellent spice rub for chicken and adds a subtle punch of heat to a refreshing herbed yogurt sauce.
Honey-Sesame Turkey Meatloaves with Broccolini
Adding cooked veggies to these mini meatloaves helps the lean turkey stay juicy and provides extra flavor and nutrients.
Parmesan Chicken & Brussels Sprouts
Parmesan and breadcrumbs combine for a crispy chicken topping without having to go through the full dredging process. While your oven’s on, roast some potatoes to serve alongside for a balanced, filling meal.
Sheet-Pan Tomato Soup
Roasting the tomatoes concentrates their flavor, yielding a richly flavored soup. Make a manchego grilled cheese for dunking.
Sheet-Pan Balsamic-Parmesan Chicken & Vegetables
This flavorful dish–with the combination of balsamic vinegar and Parmesan cheese–makes a great weeknight meal since it requires little legwork (and only one pan!). The marjoram adds a distinct earthy aroma. If you don’t have marjoram in your spice arsenal, you can use dried oregano instead. Both have a woodsy flavor that complements the dish beautifully.
Sheet-Pan Garlic-Soy Chicken & Vegetables
This easy dish comes together quickly and is cooked all on one baking sheet. Putting the pan in the oven while it preheats makes it hot enough to lightly sear the chicken and vegetables, adding texture and flavor and also reducing the cook time. Chicken thighs emerge from the oven succulent and coated in the savory sauce (with less salt because of the low-sodium soy sauce) and fragrant from the garlic, ginger and scallions. We recommend serving this with brown rice or whole-wheat noodles.
Honey-Garlic Chicken Thighs with Carrots and Broccoli
Brie Goldman
These sweet and savory baked honey-garlic chicken thighs come with a side of veggies that cook on the same sheet pan as the chicken for the perfect weeknight dinner.
Ginger-Tahini Oven-Baked Salmon & Vegetables
The tahini sauce does double duty in this salmon dinner, serving as a glaze for the fish and also as a drizzle for the entire dish at the end of cooking. Not only is this meal delicious, but it comes together with just 25 minutes of active prep time, and there’s only one pan to clean up afterward!
Sheet-Pan Shrimp Fried Rice
Classic shrimp fried rice gets amped-up flavor with sambal heat. The textures are pretty spot on with hits of crispy and tender rice and are the same as you’d get if you prepared it in a wok or skillet. This sheet-pan shrimp fried rice is a great way to use leftover rice, but you could also use pre-cooked microwave rice so that it can be coming to room temperature while you chop the veggies.
Maple-Roasted Chicken Thighs with Sweet Potato Wedges and Brussels Sprouts
This easy recipe combines tasty fall veggies like sweet potatoes and Brussels Sprouts for a hearty dinner that pairs perfectly with sweet maple-roasted chicken.
Roasted Vegan Cauliflower Soup with Parsley-Chive Swirl
Blitzed cauliflower gives this very easy vegan soup its creamy taste without adding any dairy. To get the silkiest texture, puree the soup in a blender rather than using an immersion blender.
Sheet-Pan Chicken Thighs with Brussels Sprouts & Gnocchi

In this healthy dinner, chicken thighs, Brussels sprouts, cherry tomatoes and packaged gnocchi are all roasted on the same sheet pan for a complete meal that couldn’t be easier to make. And though it’s simple, this dish gets tons of flavor from seasonings, including garlic, oregano and red-wine vinegar.
Sheet-Pan Sausage & Peppers
This easy meal is bound to become a regular in your dinner rotation. It’s super simple, comes together quickly and requires just one pan.
Salt & Vinegar Sheet-Pan Chicken & Brussels Sprouts
A strong vinegar, like malt or sherry, gives this baked chicken a pucker factor reminiscent of salt-and-vinegar chips. Everything cooks on one pan, making this dish perfect for weeknights when you want big results for little effort (so, pretty much every weeknight!).
Roasted Pear-Butternut Soup with Crumbled Stilton
Here pears are roasted to sweet perfection with butternut squash and pureed to create a creamy soup that gets a luxurious garnish of Stilton cheese. You can serve this as a first course or with a salad and crusty bread for a light autumn supper.
Sheet-Pan Balsamic-Parmesan Roasted Chickpeas & Vegetables
Ali Redmond
A tangy, balsamic dressing and nutty Parmesan cheese combine to coat tender roasted vegetables and chickpeas in this vegetarian dinner.
Sheet-Pan Sesame Chicken & Broccoli with Scallion-Ginger Sauce
In this healthy dish, meaty bone-in chicken thighs and broccoli florets are tossed with sesame oil and roasted on the same pan for a delicious and easy dinner with minimal cleanup. While the chicken and broccoli cook, whip together the simple scallion-ginger sauce. The sauce would also be wonderful spooned over salmon, tofu or grain bowls; it is easily doubled or tripled!
