With their quick prep and convenient cleanup, one-pot meals are perfect for busy weeknights, but if you're looking for an interesting alternative to the usual soups, stews and casseroles, give one-sheet-pan dinners a try.
In the March 2012 issue, Bon Appétit included a spread on sheet-pan dinners, which cook the protein alongside the vegetables on a rimmed sheet pan in the oven. Ingredients with longer cooking times can either go into the oven first, with quick-cooking components added later, or they can be cut into smaller pieces for faster cooking.
Dinners like this look a little fancier than the usual one-pot meal, but cleanup is just as quick, making them a great option for no-fuss dinner parties.

• Parmesan Chicken with Caesar Roasted Romaine
• Citrus-Marinated Tofu with Onions and Peppers
• Wasabi Salmon with Bok Choy, Green Cabbage, and Shiitakes
• Pork "Saltimbocca" with Roasted Onions and Potatoes

I love "one pot" dinners! I try to cook at least 5 out of 5 meals in one pot! Just saves so much dishes! I will definitely do "one sheet" dishes as well!! The recipes look great!
Made the Wasabi Salmon last night - so delicious, almost didn't need the wasabi mayo.
Roasted lettuce? Gross. I don't want my salad hot and wilty. Unless I'm really missing out on something?
I put down parchment paper when I bake or cook using a sheet pan. Not sure if this would affect the baking times, but it definitely makes cleanup super easy.
I've made this and the chicken was fantastic, but the romaine not as great. The Cheesecake Factory used to have a Caesar Salad Pasta that had romaine in it that I loved, so I was hoping to get some of that here. But it was just too bitter. I've also seen a "roasted" caesar on some menus, but I would skip most of the romaine and do broccoli or similar.
I do this a lot with turkey tenderloin/home fries/broccoli and pork tenderloin/potatoes/green beans. Looking forward to trying these new recipes.
Ha. I do this all the time with fish and chips. I buy beer battered haddock from the fish counter, then slice potatoes into fries. They cook at about the same time. The fries are never really like deep fried french fries, but they're pretty good with malt vinegar. Of course, when things get crusted on the pan, the clean-up isn't always so easy!
The recipe pictured (Parmesan Chicken with Caesar Roasted Romaine) was FANTASTIC. I'd never tried roasted romaine before, and it was delicious.
Made this last night, minus the romaine. We roasted some asparagus and green onions instead. It was fabulous.
Oh! And the roasted pineapple with honeyed yogurt from the same article is to die for.
