Sheet-Pan Suppers Without the Meat
Vegetarians don’t have to miss out on the glory of the sheet-pan dinner: Chickpeas, tofu and black beans are all great proteins to build a meal around.
'Most sheet-pan suppers rely on meat or fish as the anchor. Toss your chicken or salmon fillets on the pan, surround them with vegetables, and roast until everything turns golden brown, a perfect one-pan meal.
But what if you want your choice of protein to come from plants, not animals? It’s no harder to build a sheet-pan supper around a vegetarian protein, and there are more options than you might initially think.
Take, for example, beans. While they may not be the first ingredient to spring to mind when you think of a sheet-pan supper, they can work wonderfully, whether you want them crunchy and golden, or soupier and more like chili.
Crisping chickpeas in the oven to serve as an hors d’oeuvres or snack is something I’ve been doing for years. Just coat them in oil and spices, and roast at high heat until they sizzle. But to turn them into a sheet-pan supper, I added potatoes. Then, on a separate pan, I roasted chunks of cauliflower strewn with skinny lemon slices. Drizzled with a garlicky herbed yogurt sauce, it’s an incredibly satisfying, richly textured meal zipped up by the caramelized bits of citrus.
Cooking beans in the oven is even easier because you don’t have to worry about browning. To make a topping for bean tostadas, I spread a mix of canned black beans, chipotle chiles, oregano and garlic on a sheet pan, and let it bubble in the oven as it thickened. It comes out just as it would in a pot on the stove, but with the added appeal of not having to babysit a simmering pot. While the oven is on, I also roasted thinly sliced bell peppers until tender and golden. Then to serve, the beans, sweet peppers and some avocado get layered onto crisp tortillas for vegetarian tostadas that are easy enough for weeknights.'>>>
