Sheet Pan Fajitas with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce

Full disclosure, I’ve devoured these fajitas for three meals in the past 48 hours.

And it has been glorious. Friends,  I’m obsessed with this method. Sheet pan dinners are crazy popular right now and for good reason–they’re one-dish and hands-off, they’re quick, and clean-up is a breeze. So if you’re running in 5,000 directions over the next few weeks, you can still eat your veggies.

It’s a miracle.

Are they delicious? Yes, naturally. The fiesta veggie mixture is solidly spiced with a smoky kick and just the right amount of lime-induced zing, and I really love all the gorgeous colors. Are they simple? Yes, insanely. I’m talking 35 minutes tops from start to finish, and the hardest thing you’ll have to do is cut some veggies. Are they healthy? Above and beyond. Completely loaded with fiber and vitamin C. Plus, they happen to be low in fat, so you can feel good about crushing these on a regular basis.

Try this streamlined approach to create an instantly impressive spread for friends and family.
