A simple and nutritious weekly dinner plan featuring seven easy sheet pan meals that combine lean proteins, fresh vegetables, and wholesome seasonings for quick, flavorful, and clean eating.

Ingredients

  • Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs (about 1.5 lbs / 680 g)
  • Wild-caught salmon fillets (about 1 lb / 450 g)
  • Lean ground turkey (1 lb / 450 g)
  • Extra-firm tofu (14 oz / 400 g), pressed and cubed
  • Broccoli florets (3 cups / 300 g)
  • Cherry tomatoes (2 cups / 300 g)
  • Bell peppers, assorted colors (3 medium), sliced into strips
  • Sweet potatoes (2 medium), peeled and cubed
  • Zucchini (2 medium), sliced into half-moons
  • Red onions (2 medium), cut into wedges
  • Extra virgin olive oil (1/4 cup / 60 ml)
  • Garlic cloves (4-5, minced)
  • Smoked paprika (2 tsp / 10 ml)
  • Dried oregano (1 tsp / 5 ml)
  • Fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs (a few sprigs, optional)
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
  • Optional add-ins: red pepper flakes, grated Parmesan cheese, low-sodium soy sauce or tamari, chopped fresh parsley or cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. Prepare proteins: pat chicken dry and cut into uniform pieces; season salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and olive oil; press and cube tofu.
  3. Chop vegetables into uniform pieces: broccoli florets, bell pepper strips, cubed sweet potatoes, sliced zucchini, and onion wedges.
  4. In a large bowl, toss vegetables with minced garlic, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, pepper, and 2 tablespoons olive oil until lightly coated.
  5. Arrange seasoned vegetables in a single layer on one baking sheet. Arrange proteins on another sheet with space between pieces.
  6. Roast vegetables for 15 minutes, then add protein sheets to the oven. Continue roasting for 15-20 minutes more, flipping veggies and proteins halfway through.
  7. Check doneness: chicken should reach 165°F (74°C), salmon should flake easily, tofu should be golden on edges, and vegetables tender and caramelized.
  8. Remove from oven, squeeze fresh lemon juice over everything, and sprinkle with chopped parsley or cilantro.
  9. Serve immediately or cool and store in airtight containers for up to 4 days in the fridge.

Notes

Cut ingredients into uniform sizes for even cooking. Avoid overcrowding pans to prevent steaming. Flip ingredients halfway through roasting for even browning. Press tofu well to remove moisture. Let proteins rest 5 minutes after roasting. Add delicate veggies like cherry tomatoes halfway through roasting to avoid mushiness. Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in oven or skillet, avoid microwaving to keep texture.
