What in the world am I supposed to do with that sheet pan someone gifted me? Well, fortunately there is a whole world of easy meals prep and a variety of recipes available in this quickly perused recipe book.
I’ve had my sheet pan for years, actually. I’ve used it on occasion for sheet desserts and fun appetizers like a tray of veggie pizza, but I suspected that I wasn’t using it to its fullest potential since I tend to be a conservative cook and stick close to recipes and the pans or other cooking gear the recipe recommends. I spotted this cook book that caught my eye first with ‘sheet pan’ and then ‘easy’.
It’s pretty typical of a cookbook in that it gives introduction to the cooking tools and staple foods the user should probably on hand to make the recipes work. Next, it sorts the recipe chapters by Vegetable, Fish, Poultry, and Meat. These are lunch and dinner recipes with few that could be appetizer or breakfast and no desserts. I understand the author has another cookbook that perhaps is more expansive in that way. Since I was, in actuality, looking for a larger variety in pan use and already knew what desserts I could make on the pan, I didn’t mind.
So, the recipe sections…
Good news for vegans and vegetarians, those needing gluten-free or special health diets. The author is all inclusive. Many recipes also come with tips, add ins and variations. They are also international in flavor. Mostly Asian, but also Mediterranean, Italian, Mexican, a few others besides a handful of American comfort to round it out.
I have one niggle and it likely won’t be a niggle for others, but because I do little Asian cooking beyond stir fry or steamed veggies, chicken and rice, I do not stock most of the ingredients needed and would have to almost double my grocery budget as a result. I wouldn’t be surprised if I also had to shop at online specialty food stores to get some of the ingredients unless I substituted my own. The vegan and vegetarian dishes in this one often call for vegetables and spices I’m pretty sure are also pricey if available to me locally. But, again, I think this issue might be a non-issue for those who live near a good international market, grow their own, or can buy some of the spices in larger quantities because they go through it more often.
At the time of this review, I’ve been able to make the Chicken Paprikash which was easy and delicious. Also, unlike the niggle I mentioned, these ingredients were on the shelf and inexpensive. The pan, as promised, didn’t dry out the food, but brought out its flavor nicely. I also did the Philly Cheesesteak sandwiches because my husband spotted that recipe over my shoulder and insisted (he might place that sandwich in priority order just below love of his spouse). The Beef and Mole Enchiladas are up next since we love Mexican and we both want to try the kabobs that just need to lay the cookie cooling rack inside the sheet pan like a grill. Genius, right?
In summary, this cookbook offers readers a whole world of flavorful recipes that can all be cooked on a sheet pan in the oven. The recipes are a good international cooking variety and lean toward very healthy. I thought the cookbook matched the purpose outlined in the title and blurb well.
My thanks to Callisto Media for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Does anyone like cooking during the week? I don’t have kids, but I still struggle to put something on the dinner table every night without just ordering something to be delivered. I have been thinking about sheet pan cooking lately, so I was super excited when this cookbook dropped into my email.
The Easy Sheet Pan Cookbook has a wealth of ideas for quick dinners made with simple ingredients with only a sheet pan as the cooking vessel. The recipes are super easy, with all of them complete meals cooked on the sheet pan in 45 minutes or less. That’s the entire meal on the sheet pan, with the exception of a side of rice, if you wanted to add that. No other cooking, no other pans to clean.
Author Ruthy Kirwan has worked hard to come up with these creative ideas that offer options for adults and children, vegetarians and vegans, and fans of poultry, seafood, beef, pork, and lamb. And besides the recipes she offers up tips for adding extra flavor, ideas for cutting down on prep time, ingredient swaps, troubleshooting for when things go wrong, and the 6 Golden Rules of cooking with sheet pans (number one, always, don’t overcrowd the pan).
She also offers tips for pantry items to keep on hand and other essential kitchen equipment, like an oven thermometer to make sure that your oven cooks evenly. And she makes her recommendations for which sheet pan you should choose. You don’t want to go cheap here, but you can find a quality sheet pan for a reasonable amount of money, and Kirwan tells you how to keep in top shape for cooking.
The recipes start with vegetarian mains, but these include filling dishes like Sheet Pan Soup, Sheet Pan Egg Pie, Oven-Baked Lentil Burgers with Root Veggie Fries, Polenta “Fries” with Roasted Broccolini, Eggplant Parm, Chilaquiles Verde, Moo Shu Mushrooms, Spaghetti Pie, and Crispy Tofu with Tamarind Butter Sauce.
From there, it’s on to seafood, where the savory recipes include Baked Tuna Croquettes with Roasted Red Pepper Salad, Cajun Catfish and Sweet Potatoes, Cod with Fennel and Potatoes, Orange-Glazed Salmon and Brussels Sprouts, Lemon Pepper Tilapia and Broccoli, Honey-Garlic Shrimp and Asparagus, and Sesame-Soy Shrimp and Snap Peas.
The poultry recipes include such mouth-watering dishes as Sweet and Sour Turkey with Sweet Potato, Chicken and Lemony Potatoes, Chicken Piccata, Plum and Rosemary Chicken, Pesto Chicken and Parsnip Fries, Moroccan-Inspired Chicken Thighs, Chicken Parm and Roasted Broccoli, Breaded Turkey Cutlets with Romesco, and even Baked Chicken Wings and Broccoli with Citrus Garlic Glaze.
And finally, the meats. You can make Steak and Scalloped Potatoes, Beef and Broccoli, Sheet Pan Cheesesteak Sandwiches, Pork Strips and Bok Choy with Peanut Sauce, Egg Roll in a Bowl, Curry-Spiced Lamb and Golden Potatoes, Chimichurri Pork Tenderloin and Potatoes, Beef and Mole Enchiladas, Blackberry BBQ Ribs and Parsnip Fries, Maple-Apple Pork Chops, and Lamb Burgers with Parsnip Fries and Lemon Aioli.
Clearly, the recipes cover a wide range of flavors and borrow from dishes that originate all over the world. But they are all recipes that are quick to make with simple prep. Some are even marked as no-knife recipes, so they could be prepped by kids or those who live with limited access to kitchen tools. Many use 5 ingredients or less, and they all focus on big flavors. The Easy Sheet Pan Cookbook is ideal for busy cooks and beginning cooks, or for anyone who wants to cook healthy, fast meals with minimal muss, fuss, and cleanup.
I really liked this cookbook, and it gave me some great ideas for weeknight dinners (I never would have thought to do scalloped potatoes on a sheet pan like that!). I do wish there had been more photos, but the pics that are included are gorgeous, making these dishes look so tempting. This is a great starting place for sheet pan cooking, and it would be a great gift for new parents or new cooks!

This is free to read on Kindle Unlimited.
To be clear, this is not meals, it is just single dishes to be made on the sheet pan. Bookmarked some simple and yummy sounding ideas to try.
