“Tomatoes, onions, and cucumbers (yes, cucumbers!) roast along with the Greek flank steak, creating a crunchy, juicy salad that just begs to be topped with feta,” says Molly Gilbert, author “Sheet Pan Suppers: 120 Recipes for Simple, Surprising, Hands-Off Meals Straight from the Oven.”\n<\/p>\n

“I didn’t realize it was a salad initially. What an amazing way to make something exciting. A+,” said one Allrecipes reviewer.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

One serving of poultry a week is recommended in the Mediterranean diet, so be sure to make it tasty! Enter this delectable sheet pan dinner of roasted chicken thighs, loads of vegetables, olives, and herbs, all roasted to perfection with olive oil and lemon.\n<\/p>\n

“This was ahhh-mazing,” said one Allrecipes reviewer. “Very flavorful and easy to make. I doubled the sauce and I didn’t have balsamic vinegar, so instead used a big squeeze of honey and a splash of apple cider vinegar. I think it added a little bit of sweetness.”\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“Topping a thick-crust pizza with bread crumbs might sound like a strange idea, but it really is the crispy, cheesy secret sauce behind this Sicilian Pizza,” said Chef John, who shared this recipe. “Well, that and the actual sauce of onion and anchovies \u2014 ingredients you might want to keep secret from guests. Also key is the extremely sticky dough, which bakes into a feather-light, spongy crust that contrasts perfectly with the crumbly topping.”\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n<\/p>\n

Briam (Greek Baked Zucchini and Potatoes) <\/span> <\/h2>\n

This briam recipe makes a roasted vegetable dish with potatoes, zucchini, tomatoes, red onions, and lots of olive oil. It is a typical example of Greek cuisine where a few simple ingredients are turned into an utterly delicious dish with little effort. Briam can be served as a main course with a hearty chunk of feta on the side.\n<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve been making this for years,” shared one Allrecipes member. “This was a staple in our Greek home and this recipe is spot on. It needs a lot more salt than you\u2019d think, but it is amazing. I hurt myself on a mandolin with this recipe and have been scared to make it since, but it is seriously so good. Just be careful.”\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Roasted Cod Nicoise <\/span> <\/h2>\n

Fish is an integral part of the Mediterranean diet and this no-fuss, flavorful way to prepare cod makes Med diet meal planning easy. For Mediterranean diet bonus points, drizzle 1 to 2 teaspoons of extra-virgin olive oil over each plate just before serving.\n<\/p>\n

“Not only was this dish uncomplicated and delicious but it was eye candy,” shared one Allrecipes member. “Beautiful colors. Delightful flavors. The dark green on one side with bright red tomatoes, white fish in the middle, and roasted new red tomatoes on the other side made a lovely presentation. Next time I make this, it will be for company as I expect them to be impressed.”\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Moroccan-Spiced Pork Roast <\/span> <\/h2>\n

“Serving a gorgeous, fancy-looking holiday roast doesn’t have to be complicated, time-consuming, or expensive,” said Chef John, who shared this recipe. “This pork loin proves exactly that. This is fast, easy, and affordable, but when you bring it to the table, it looks like a million dollars. The beautifully warming and aromatic spices really work so well with a pork roast.”\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Quick, easy, and full of flavor (and color), this Meatball Gnocchi Sheet Pan dinner makes meal time a breeze. Make sure to pick up either frozen or refridgerated potato gnocchi, not the shelf stable kind.\n<\/p>\n

“I made this tonight for the first time and loved it,” said one Allrecipes member. “I used 2 roma tomatoes and a little extra parsley and more salt. I like the uncooked tomatoes for more moisture. Will definitely make again.”\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“I cooked on a sheet pan, it was delicious,” said one Allrecipes member. “The whole thing was done in 30 minutes. This recipe is great for that just use what veggies you have around. I used asparagus, green beans, bell peppers and onion. The taste was outstanding. Lemon really perked it up and it was easy to make. Also very healthy. This one I will keep and do again. Thanks for a great recipe.”\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

To make this traditional Algerian recipe, simply rub a whole chicken with Dijon mustard, olive oil, onion, and spices and pop in the oven to roast. The flavorful sauce combines onions, garlic, mustard, balsamic vinegar, and cayenne pepper.\n<\/p>\n

“When I have time, I prepare the chicken a few hours ahead of time and let it marinate in the sauce before roasting it in the oven,” said one Allrecipes member. “I usually serve the chicken with cubed roast potatoes. I coat them with the same sauce and cook them in the oven for 1 hour.”\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
