Potato, Chickpea and Bell Pepper Sheet Pan Meal With A Creamy Cashew Greens Sauce
One of my favorite weeknight dinners is a sheet pan meal. They’re so simple and versatile. Plus, you can make a big batch and eat for days ahead. This saves you time in the kitchen and helps you to extend your healthy eating habits into the next day.
Sheet pan meals are simple. Just toss everything onto a baking sheet and let the oven do the work. My favorite combination is this one here: potatoes, red bell peppers and chickpeas.
The best way to elevate sheet pan meals is by adding lots of spices and a good sauce on top!
This meal on its own is plant based and naturally gluten free. Feel free to add your favorite additional protein as needed!
