Crunchy chips under a blanket of melted cheddar make Sheet Pan Nachos easy to share straight from the baking tray. Seasoned ground beef is browned in a skillet first, then spread over the chips with black beans before a quick bake. Add guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and jalapeños once the cheese melts. Put the tray in the middle of the table and let everyone take a portion while the chips are still crisp.

Carrots, parsnips, beets, sweet potato, and red onion roast with olive oil until their natural sweetness comes through.

One big golden pancake cuts into tidy squares with Sheet Pan Pancakes, so there is no standing at the stove flipping breakfast a few pieces at a time. A simple batter of flour, milk, eggs, and melted butter spreads across a lined tray, with berries added on top if you like.

Sheet Pan Parmesan Crusted Chicken

A crisp Parmesan and breadcrumb coating makes Sheet Pan Parmesan Crusted Chicken a welcome change from plain baked chicken breasts. The sliced chicken is dipped in butter and oil, pressed into a seasoned panko and cheese mixture, then baked on a lined tray until golden. Finish with parsley and lemon wedges to brighten the rich crust. Add a quick salad or leftover roasted vegetables on the side, since the recipe itself bakes chicken without vegetables on the tray.
