Beyond easy to prep, cook, and clean, these all-in-one recipes will get dinner on the table with very little effort. Here are 12 sheet pan dinners to help you get through the busiest of weeks.
Sheet Pan Holiday Ham
This recipe from Damn Delicious technically requires two sheet pans, but that’s all you’ll need for this full ham dinner that includes glazed ham steaks, garlic green beans, marshmallow-stuffed sweet potatoes, and warm puffy biscuits. It’s a holiday, or an any day, full-course meal!
Sheet Pan Pork Tenderloin and Potatoes

Sheet Pan Fish-and-Chips
Goodtaste took this traditional British meal and put a healthy spin on it. Instead of pulling out the deep fryer, we cook this in the oven and serve it on crispy thin potatoes. You still get great crispy fish straight out the oven with a hint of citrus.
