A basic sheet pan recipe calls for protein, veggies, a starch, and spices. Let’s talk through each so you can modify to your liking!
- Protein: This specific recipe calls for chicken sausage (which is SO easy), but you can replace with chicken breast, salmon, shrimp, or a vegetarian option such as a veggie sausage, tofu, or tempeh.
