One Pan Roasted Dinners

This is the easiest dinner option ever, especially if you have done the vegetable preparation in advance. It is also a great technique for meal prepping!

Directions:

To a single cookie sheet add the following:

• Add 3-5 cups of vegetables of choice to a bowl. (See vegetable combinations below.) Make sure they are all relatively the same size so they cook evenly. Coat evenly with cocoanut oil, butter or Ghee and spice combination of choice.
• Place protein of choice (3 oz per serving) on a cookie sheet and coat with healthy fat of choice and seasoning mixture. Place oiled vegetables around protein evenly.

Place in 400 degree preheated oven for 20-30 minutes; shaking or flipping vegetables half way through. Eat right out of the oven and then refrigerate the rest to use during the week.
