Cook Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: Mediterranean
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure that your sheet pan dinner cooks evenly and develops a nice roasted flavor.
- Prepare your vegetables: rinse the cherry tomatoes and set them aside. Slice the zucchini into rounds, chop the bell pepper into bite-sized pieces, and slice the red onion into thin wedges.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, chopped bell pepper, sliced red onion, and drained chickpeas. Add the cherry tomatoes to the bowl as well.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetable and chickpea mixture. Sprinkle the dried oregano, salt, and pepper to taste. Toss everything together until the vegetables and chickpeas are well-coated with the oil and seasonings.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Spread the vegetable and chickpea mixture evenly on the baking sheet, ensuring that the ingredients are in a single layer for optimal roasting.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for about 30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking. The vegetables should be tender and slightly caramelized.
- Once cooked, remove the sheet pan from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. This will allow the flavors to settle.
- Serve the Vegan Mediterranean Sheet Pan Dinner warm, either as a main dish or alongside your favorite grains, such as quinoa or couscous. Enjoy your healthy and flavorful meal!
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, chop your vegetables and rinse the chickpeas in advance. Store them in the fridge until you're ready to roast for a hassle-free cooking experience.
- Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to swap in your favorite vegetables or whatever you have on hand. Eggplant, asparagus, or even sweet potatoes make great additions to this versatile dish.
- Perfect Roasting: Ensure your vegetables are spread out in a single layer on the baking sheet. This allows for even roasting and helps achieve that perfect caramelization.
- Add a Zesty Kick: For an extra burst of flavor, squeeze some fresh lemon juice over the roasted veggies just before serving. It brightens up the dish beautifully!
- Serve with Grains: Pair your sheet pan dinner with a side of quinoa, couscous, or even a fresh salad to create a well-rounded meal that’s both filling and nutritious.
