Sheet pan dinners are quick and easy; they usually include a full well-balanced meal such as meat or poultry, potatoes or other starch, and vegetables. Almost anything can be put on a sheet pan and baked or roasted. One favorite is the following Garlicky Steak and Parmesan Potato Sheet Pan Dinner . This one includes chunks of red potatoes and tender steak with plenty of garlic and Parmesan cheese, as well as asparagus or broccoli. It is delicious and can be completed start to finish in less than 30 minutes.

Even Mr. Picky, my most finicky, but cutest, Official Hancock Taster loved this dinner. You can vary the vegetable you put on the sheet pan, and add several different ones if you like. You can use your favorite type of steak (or whatever cut you can afford with the horrible high inflation), and since it is cut into smaller chunks, it will be tender in the minimum cooking time.

6 Servings

2 pounds small red potatoes, scrubbed and quartered
4 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
6 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, divided
