Tools you’ll need
Before diving into the best sheet pan dinners, make sure your kitchen is stocked with the basics! A sturdy, rimmed baking sheet is key, bonus points if it’s got a bit of character from lots of past dinners. I like to use an extra large 15×21-inch sheet pan, so I have plenty of room for all the ingredients. However, this size sheet pan may not fit in all ovens, so two high-quality half sheet pans may be necessary. To keep cleanup breezy, line it with foil or parchment paper (your future self will thank you).
You’ll also want a few everyday tools:
A sharp kitchen knife for chopping veggies and proteins
Mixing bowls for tossing everything in seasoning
Measuring cups and spoons to keep things balanced and flavorful
An instant read meat thermometer is a good idea for ensuring your meat is cooked through
Nothing fancy needed—just the essentials to make dinner easy, fast, and delicious.
