I get pretty skeptical about (some) food trends. I balk at quinoa. I loathe smoothie bowls. Please don’t try to tell me how awesome chia seed pudding is, because I promise, it’s not as good as chocolate pudding. And don’t even get me started on the gluten-free craze.
So you can maybe understand my skepticism over the latest internet enthusiasm for “sheet pan” dinners. Because, come on – is throwing dinner on one sheet pan really that great??
Well, the answer is a resounding: yes, yes it is. Which I guess also means I have to admit I was wrong about something. Just don’t tell my husband.

This sheet pan dinner was incredibly delicious and easy, and is equally awesome for a weeknight dinner or Shabbat. I will admit that I thought to myself: wow, dinner is totally done! Now, what should I do? (Pour myself a glass of wine of course). So go ahead – get excited about the convenience and awesomeness of a sheet pan dinner, and try adding your own favorite flavors and veggie combinations.
For those wondering, za’atar is a wonderful Middle Eastern spice blend used widely in Israel. I have bought mine in Israel, at supermarkets like Fairway and even online. You can also try making your own.
