The time has come to show some love for the humble sheet pan. While shiny stainless steel or brightly colored enamel wear tend to hog the spotlight, those dinged up, dingy sheet pans are the true kitchen utilitarians. So grab your favorite baking tray (no matter how beat up it is) and we'll show you how to cook for the whole week using just one pan!

Sheet Pan Dinners: aka Weeknight Dinner Gold

Everything from protein to veggies & even grains get tossed on a baking sheet and thrown in the oven for an easy no stress meal. Here are two of our favorite recipes:

Sheet Pan Salmon with Squash and Couscous by @b.britnell.

Roasting the salmon is more forgiving than sautéing and makes clean up much easier as well. Use this recipe as a guide and swap in whatever seasonal veggies you have on hand throughout the year.

Sheet Pan Garlic and Parmesan Breaded Chicken with Roasted Asparagus by @chelseasmessyapron

Brown Sugar Roasted Grapefruit by @ciaochowbambina.

As citrus season comes to a close, use up the last of your grapefruits for a quick & easy breakfast treat. Roasting the grapefruits enhances the juiciness of the fruit and the addition of brown sugar makes a delicious crackly crust. Need more ideas for the last of your grapefruits?
