A sheet pan can cover more than roasted vegetables on a regular cooking day. You can choose a main dish for dinner, a side to fill out the plate, or a small bite when you want something savory from the tray. Serve one with the meal or set it out on a platter before people sit down.
Sheet Pan Gnocchi
Crisp-edged potato gnocchi makes Sheet Pan Gnocchi a full meal in 35 minutes, with four servings from one loaded tray. Italian sausage roasts beside red and green peppers, cherry tomatoes, red onion, garlic, and rosemary. The gnocchi goes onto the pan uncooked, which removes the extra pot and lets the edges brown in the oven. Serve it for a busy dinner or pack leftovers for a reheatable lunch.

Folding the tortillas over one large filling creates crisp slices that are easy to portion. Set them out for dinner, game day, or a casual spread with salsa and extra toppings.

Sheet Pan Eggs
