Winter Veggie Sheet Pan Dinner

These days I am looking for simple, tasty, and nutritious dinners. This Winter Veggie Sheet Pan Dinner is right up my alley. A flavorful combination of seasonal veggies and chickpeas for added protein.

Sheet pan dinners are completely flexible. You can use whatever veggies and seasonings you prefer. To round out a sheet pan dinner, a protein is a must. Although veggies do offer some protein, it is just not enough, so I like to add chickpeas. My husband likes to cook salmon to add to his plate. Flexibility and ease are what I am all about these days!

I have made several versions of sheet pan dinners, but this one kept making an appearance in our home, so I knew it was worth sharing with you. The winter veggies are hearty and handle a smoky combination of seasonings. I have even just skipped the seasoning combo, and used just creole seasoning! Both are delicious, but I like to control the salt a bit more, so I like to use my own seasoning combination most of the time.

The cayenne pepper is optional but adds a spicy kick! If you or your family is sensitive to heat, just leave out the cayenne.
