Sheet pan meals are the ultimate busy weeknight super tool. With one-pan meals, you load all of your protein, veggies, and sometimes even your starches onto one pan. Could eating healthy dinners get any easier? While sheet pan meals are often high in protein, they often lack fiber, which comes from plant foods like vegetables, fruits, grains, beans, and nuts and has big benefits when it comes to heart health, blood sugar management, and gut health. High-fiber sheet pan recipes can be hard to come by, but we’ve got you covered with a delicious list!

The Daily Value (DV) for fiber is 28 grams per day, based on a 2,000-calorie diet, but only 7% of Americans get this amount. While sheet pan dinners make it easy to get a balanced meal on the table fast (and clean up even faster!), these high-fiber sheet pan recipes can help you hit your fiber goals. Each recipe has at least 25% of the DV for fiber.
