<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nSheet pan meals were all the rage not to long ago because of their simplicity and speed. Season some protein and vegetables, set them on a sheet pan and then into the oven to roast. About 30-45 minutes later you have a delicious meal with one pan to clean. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just because they aren't trending like they once were doesn't mean they aren't a great meal option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sheet Pan Meal Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
One of the reasons sheet pan meals became so popular is their ease of preparation. A few tips to make them easier:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- chose ingredients that cook at the same temperature and time<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- line your baking sheet for easy clean up (parchment paper, foil or reusable mats like these<\/a>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- separate the protein and veggies in two pans or on two halves of the pan to make it easier to remove cooked items and allow others to cook a bit longer<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- don't over crowd the pans, leaving some space between the items allows better air flow and will actually speed up cooking time while getting that lovely Maillard reaction (caramelizing).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Ingredients <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The ingredients are what you would expect:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- chicken drumsticks<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- carrots<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- olive oil<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- seasonings: paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
I chose chicken drumsticks and kept the carrots whole for this recipe because they have similar roasting times. I like my carrots with a little crunch and these were on the skinnier side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you like your carrots softer, or they are medium to large thickness you may need to cook them longer or slice them in chunks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can swap the drumsticks for other chicken pieces as well. Just note that cooking time will vary depending on the cut and if it has bones: bone in chicken breasts will take longer, boneless chicken thighs will take less time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
