Sheet pan meals have been gaining in popularity over the last few years, and for good reason. I’m a big fan of having fewer dishes to clean up at the end of a meal. I also like easy recipes that require minimal steps. My favorite sheet pan recipes typically include throwing everything on the sheet pan at the same time and tossing it in the oven. During the week, I typically prep the ingredients before heading into work, so that when I get home all I have to do is turn on the oven, spread it all on the sheet pan and toss it in.

15-Minute Sheet Pan Tempeh and Broccoli

Recipe Adapted From: Averie Cooks
Makes 4 servings
PRINT RECIPE

Ingredients

¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
4 cloves garlic, finely minced or pressed
2 Tbsp honey or maple syrup
2 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
2 Tbsp rice vinegar
2 Tbsp fresh grated ginger (or 1 tsp ground ginger)
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
pinch cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes, optional and to taste
8 oz tempeh cubes
4 cups broccoli florets (about 1-2 heads)
1 red bell pepper, large dice
2 green onions, sliced in 1-inch segments on the bias
1 Tbsp sesame seeds, optional for garnishing

Directions

1. Pre-heat oven to 425ºF and line a sheet pan with parchment paper for easier cleanup; set aside.
2. In a large bowl, add soy sauce, garlic, honey or maple syrup, toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, ginger, pepper and optional cayenne or red pepper flakes. Whisk to combine.
3. Add tempeh, stir to combine, and let marinate for at least 20 minutes (if you have time and can marinate 1-2 hours or longer, even better).
4. Using tongs, transfer tempeh to the sheet pan with space in between the pieces; set aside.
5. Add broccoli and bell pepper to the marinade mixture and give it a quick dunk; you just want to moisten it a bit. Using tongs, transfer the veggies to the sheet pan, and scatter it in between the tempeh so food isn’t overlapping too much.
6. Bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the broccoli is fork-tender.
7. Evenly garnish with green onions and, if desired, sesame seeds, and serve immediately.
