Ingredients
- 1 crown broccoli
1/2 pound
- 1 medium red onion
- 1 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes
about 2 medium large
- 1 pound red potatoes
about 2 medium
- 1 red pepper
- 1 15-ounce can chickpeas
or 1 1/2 cups cooked
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning*
purchased or homemade
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

Quinoa, Couscous, Israeli couscous or Seasoned Lentils, to serve, optional

Directions
- 1
Adjust the oven racks for roasting 2 trays. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
- 2
If serving with rice or quinoa, follow How to Cook Brown Rice, Instant Pot Brown Rice, How to Cook Quinoa or Instant Pot Quinoa.
- 3
Chop the broccoli. Cut the onion into thick slices. Dice the potatoes. Dice the red pepper.
- 4
Place all the vegetables in a large bowl. Drain and rinse the chickpeas, then add them to the bowl. Mix in the olive oil, garlic powder, Old Bay, Italian seasoning, and kosher salt until everything is evenly coated.
- 5
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper (we prefer this to silicone baking mats because it results in crispier veggies). Spread the vegetables evenly onto each sheet.
- 6
Place into the oven and bake for 20 minutes (do not stir!). Remove the pans from the oven, rotate them, and roast another 10 minutes (for 30 minutes total) until tender and lightly browned on one side.
- 7
Cut the lemon into wedges, and spritz the veggies with fresh lemon juice to taste. (Required: this step adds just the right zing! Or you can serve with lemon wedges.)

Transfer to a serving bowl or dish and serve immediately with rice or quinoa. Dollop with sour cream, cashew cream or hummus.

About this Recipe
Tired of juggling multiple pots and pans for a healthy, flavorful weeknight meal? This Easy Sheet Pan Dinner is your answer, offering vibrant vegetables and robust seasonings all baked together for a truly fuss-free feast. The magic of this recipe lies in its simplicity: everything roasts on a single sheet pan, developing caramelized edges and tender interiors. Combining sweet potatoes, red potatoes, and chickpeas with the savory punch of Old Bay and Italian seasonings creates a deeply satisfying flavor profile with minimal effort. Prepare for a medley of textures and tastes. You'll savor the sweet, earthy notes of roasted sweet potatoes and the starchy comfort of red potatoes, all brightened by crisp-tender broccoli florets and tender red pepper. The chickpeas add a delightful textural contrast and protein, while the hint of fresh lemon at the end provides a zesty finish that ties all the flavors together. This dish is hearty yet light, perfect for a balanced meal. This versatile sheet pan dinner welcomes your personal touch. For a different protein, consider adding pre-cooked chicken sausage or firm tofu alongside the vegetables. If you don't have Old Bay, a mix of paprika, celery salt, and black pepper can offer a similar savory depth. Feel free to swap broccoli for cauliflower or Brussels sprouts, adjusting cooking time as needed. This vibrant meal is ideal for busy weeknights when you crave a homemade dinner without the fuss. Serve it alongside your favorite grain like fluffy rice or nutty quinoa, and don't forget a dollop of creamy Greek yogurt, sour cream, or hummus to add an extra layer of richness and tang.
