Sheet Pan Sausage + Veggies

Lunch time is one of those meals that you either skip entirely or quickly scarf something down while getting work done. It’s not exciting. And from what I see, it’s often not balanced. When I think about the clients I work with on a weekly basis, lunch is the meal that they struggle with the most. On weeks when I know I would struggle, I whip up this recipe. It’s one of my go to recipes when I need a break from thinking, “what’s for lunch today?” I prefer sheet pan meals because they are quick, yield a few meals, and are easy to clean up after. It’s what works for me when I’m short on time. Find a method or system that works for you so that lunch doesn’t become one more chore.
