This sheet pan za'atar chicken, sausage and vegetables is an easy weeknight dinner that will only take you 5 minutes to throw everything on to one pan and and give you more time to relax. If you like easy and full of flavor meals then this is the dish for you!
We all have those nights after a long day where cooking does not feel possible and you really don't want to do take out. Sheet pan meals are perfect for these types of days!
This dish is very versatile as well. I used potatoes and asparagus because that is what we had on hand. I also had some sausage and only 2 pieces of chicken (to feed 4) so I just combined them into 1 meal. You can mix and match what you have available.
About the seasoning in this sheet pan meal:
For the seasoning, I always have za'atar on hand (a spice mix of oregano, thyme, marjoram, toasted sesame seeds, salt and sumac) because I love it . It is a middle eastern spice blend. You can find this at almost all grocery stores now, in the spice section.
I love adding this spice to so many things. One of my favorite ways to use it is in dips like. my avocado dip or on top of hummus. It will not go to waste if you have to buy it, once you see how flavorful it is!
You can make your own za'atar seasoning, buy it or use another spice blend that you really like. The key is that all of the ingredients roast and caramelize together in the oven.
Here are some more really easy dinners for those busy nights:
I hope you give this one a try and see how delicious a quick sheet pan meal can be!
