This vegetarian Mexican Sheet Pan Supper is a delicious mix of vegetables perfect for eating by itself or with warm tortillas (and it’s ready in under half an hour!)
I’ve always been intrigued at these so called “sheet pan dinners”. Because while it sounds great and easy and convenient in theory, I’ve always had trouble figuring out just what would go on a vegetarian sheet pan dinner.
But when Anouk and I got together to cook last month, we schemed up this Mexican tray bake of sorts and the result was damn delicious. Filled with veggies and black beans then seasoned with all the best Mexican-inspired spices, this supper is perfect on it’s own or served in warm tortillas.
This tray bake has just a handful of ingredients, but you can throw on any veggie you happen to have in your fridge!
We used sweet potatoes (which we boil first to reduce the overall roasting time) and baby corn (because it’s adorable and delicious) to add bulk to the meal, with the black beans coming in with the punch of protein and fiber.
Add in some onions for flavor and bell peppers for color and you have yourself a sheet pan supper! (Take it up a notch by serving it with this dreamy cashew queso!)
Try serving these veggies with this Spanish Rice!
