I'm not sure what's happening at your house, but we've officially reached the late-January dinnertime doldrums. My "New Year, New You" motivation for happily busting out healthy meals has waned, but my fridge is teeming with fresh produce in search of a recipe. Enter sheet-pan suppers, which I've recently put back into rotation on busy weeknights. They're the perfect solution for roasting up all those vegetables in the crisper — and the clean-up is an absolute breeze. Plus, you can always use the leftovers on salads or tucked into a wrap the next day.

Sheet-pan dinners are also an excellent way to elevate simple proteins like fish and shrimp into something special with the addition of flavorful dressings, tangy cheese and olives and bright herbs.

4 tips for cooking on a sheet pan

Want to try your hand at your own one-pan recipe?

Frank Proto, director of culinary operations at the Institute of Culinary Education previously shared four guidelines for making a sensational sheet-pan supper:

Use proteins that reheat well the next day. Think chicken thighs, pork shoulder, pork shoulder chops or chuck steak.
Keep the seasoning simple and make a sauce to give the dish more flavor.
Cut denser vegetables like potatoes a little larger than lighter ones such as broccoli.
Add lighter vegetables like onions and garlic later in the cooking process to avoid burning.
