FAQs

What size sheet pan for sheet pan dinners? ›

The right baking sheet to use for sheet pan dinners is called a half-sheet pan. It's made of heavy-gauge metal, measures 18 by 13 inches, and has a 1-inch rim all the way around. It's sturdy enough to take high oven heat — and sometimes broiler heat if your recipe calls for it.

What to cook a sheet pan dinner at? ›

A sheet pan meal is a full meal – protein and vegetable or vegetables– cooked together on a sheet pan in a hot oven, typically 425° F. The food combos are endless, but the recipes share a few attributes. They are fairly low fat, come together within an hour, and dirty just one pan.

Why do we have sheet pan dinners? ›

A sheet pan takes the concept of a one-pot meal and flips it onto a pan. It saves time, makes clean-up easier, and doesn't require expensive equipment or fancy ingredients.

Can I use parchment paper for sheet pan dinners? ›

Lining the pan

Cleanup is a breeze when you line the baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

What is the difference between a baking sheet and a sheet pan? ›

Although cookie sheets are often referred to as "baking sheets," there are differences between a cookie sheet and a baking sheet (also known as a baking sheet pan or simply a sheet pan): Baking sheet pans have rolled edges with a lip around the entire pan, whereas cookie sheets do not.

What temperature do you cook sheet pan dinners? ›

Temperatures range from 375-400°F for sheet pan meals. Depending on the vegetables and protein you've chosen, it may take anywhere from 35-45 minutes to cook thoroughly. Remember if you've chosen something you know will overcook in that period, you want to add it in later on in the cooking time.

Do you cover sheet pan meals with foil? ›

We recommend foil over parchment paper for sheet pan cooking. As it conducts heat, foil can help accelerate the cooking process and help browning.

Can you prep sheet pan meals ahead of time? ›

Here, you'll assemble dinner components in reusable containers or zip-top bags so during the week all you need to do is dump everything on sheet pan, maybe toss with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper, and then bake. You'll also be ready to tackle the week with simple, ready-to-eat breakfast and lunch options.

What do you use a full sheet pan for? ›

They're just as great at roasting vegetables as they are at serving as an oven-to-table vessel for melting cheese on nachos. You can make perfectly crispy bacon on a cooling rack placed within a sheet pan or use one to crank the oven up to broil and get some texture on braised meat!

Should you flip sheet pan chicken? ›

Place chicken on a rimmed baking sheet and season with salt and pepper all over. With the chicken skin-side up, drizzle with half the olive oil and place in oven. 2. Roast the chicken, without flipping, until cooked through and deeply browned all over, 25 to 30 minutes.

How long do you bake a sheet pan for? ›

If it doesn't leave it in the over and test again in 5 minutes. The baking time for a sheet cake can vary depending on the recipe and the size of the pan. Generally speaking, a sheet cake baked in a standard 9x13 inch pan will take between 25 to 35 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).

Can you put food directly on sheet pan? ›

You don't really need to line the pan

“I throw stuff directly on the sheet pan and then when you go to stir or scrape it up with a spatula or wooden spoon, you get all that flavor that's on the bottom of the pan up into the dish,” says Pelzel.

When should you not use parchment paper for baking? ›

Parchment paper is not designed for high-heat cooking. Avoid using it in your oven or on the grill if temperature will exceed 400 degrees, says Michelle Weaver, chef at Charleston Grill in South Carolina, as there's a chance it could catch fire.

Can you put two sheet pans in the oven? ›

If you have two sheet pans on separate racks inside your oven, you should also switch them so that the lower rack doesn't get more heat than the higher rack.

What side of parchment paper do you cook on? ›

Since parchment paper doesn't have a helpful “this end up” sign with an arrow, it takes a little detective work. Just hold the paper up to the light and look for the side that's slightly glossier or shinier. It is the shiny or glossy side of the parchment paper that should be face up on your baking sheet or cake pan.

What is the difference between 1 8 sheet pan and 1 4 sheet pan? ›

1/4 Size (9-1/2” x 13”): Great for operations with limited space like food trucks, can double as an appetizer tray. 1/8 Size (6-1/2" x 9-1/2”): Perfect for oven to table use, can double as a serving tray to accommodate small portions.

What is a 1 2 sheet pan used for? ›

We've told folks before that half-sheet pans (along with cooling racks) are the unsung heroes of the kitchen; they can be used to not only bake cookies, but also to roast vegetables, make sheet pan meals, dry brine chicken and turkey, rest meat, and so much more.

What is the difference between 1 2 and 1 4 sheet pans? ›

Meanwhile, 1/2 sheet cake (18 x 12 inches and using 7 to 8 cups of batter) should be enough for 36-48 guests. And the smallest option, 1/4 sheet cake (9 x 13 inches, up to 4 cups of batter), can feed 20-24 people.

What is a 1 4 sheet pan used for? ›

They're great for cooking for one, too, and can accommodate a single serving of protein for baking or roasting in the oven (or toaster oven!). I also like to use one to toast a handful of croutons for a single-serving salad.
