The problem with cooking is it just requires so much work. At the same time, making healthy meals at home is essential, especially when you're trying to stick to a strict plan like the low-carb, high-fat ketogenic diet [1]. Here's the good news: weeknight meals don't have to be a huge hassle. Sheet pan recipes [2] — like the ones you'll find here — require minimal prep and clean-up. Why? As the name implies, you simply throw your ingredients on a single pan (who doesn't love a one-dish wonder [3]?), stick it in the oven, and, just as quickly, dinner is served.
