I love recipes that require the least amount of effort, especially on weekdays when we already have so much to do. This sheet pan recipe is super easy but makes for a delicious meal. Toss veggies in flavourful spices and bake. Yes, it’s that simple. Whether you are making it for lunch or for dinner, you are going to love this easy recipe.
The spicy peanut sauce takes this sheet pan recipe to another level. The oven-roasted caramelization of onions, crispy sweet potatoes and delicious mushrooms is an excellent combination. I personally love eating them with rice for a nice warm, comforting meal. But if you looking for a refreshing meal, toss some salad in lime vinaigrette and top with these veggies and spicy peanut sauce. Cooking could not get any easier and more delicious!
