As high inflation and economic uncertainty continue to plague American consumers, many people are opting to dine in rather than go out. HelloFresh's 2025-26 State of Home Cooking Report found that 85% of Americans who plan to eat at home more often are doing so out of financial concerns.
That being said, cooking is often the last thing you want to do after a long day. For one thing, it can be a major time suck. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' annual American Time Use Survey found that the average American spends almost five hours a week on food preparation and cleanup. Waning brain space and time constraints dictated by our hectic schedules can make it next to impossible to get a healthy, filling meal on the table. It doesn't have to be that way, though. One thing that can make the frantic dinner scramble a little easier is an easy sheet pan meal.
It requires one dish (OK, maybe two if you count a cutting board), one method of cooking (no more worrying about managing the oven, stovetop, and air fryer all at once), and one cooking time (say goodbye to being stressed about making sure your main and sides are all done at the same time). In short, they're the perfect solution to your jam-packed weeknight.
If you're looking for some inspiration, Stacker compiled 50 of the best sheet pan recipes from Allrecipes. Any one of these delicious dinners is sure to satisfy the whole family without pushing you over the meal-prep edge.
