Sheet pans are the unsung heroes of the kitchen—easy to use, quick to clean, and versatile enough for any meal, from busy weeknights to weekend dinner parties. We’ll start by munching on some delicious sheet pan nachos while discussing the do’s and don’ts of sheet pan cooking. You’ll learn how to prepare chicken shawarma, a beloved Middle Eastern street food, adapted for home kitchens. While it’s in the oven, we’ll create a flavorful sausage and veggie sheet pan meal. Then we’ll discuss more recipe ideas and share tips for cooking with sheet pans at home while enjoying the delicious meal we prepared together.
