We recommend serving this with brown rice or whole-wheat noodles.

Sheet-Pan Maple-Mustard Pork Chops & Carrots

You need just one pan for this satisfying weeknight dinner.

Rainbow carrots add colorful pizazz, but regular orange carrots are a just-as-tasty substitute.

Pork dries out easily–using an instant-read thermometer ensures meat is cooked safely, but still moist.

If you like the heat, add jalapeno slices at the end.

These quick nachos work well with shredded chicken breast or rotisserie chicken if you have leftovers around.

Our sheet-pan ratatouille features tangy goat cheese and sweet balsamic glaze that complement the tender charred vegetables.

Serve over rice noodles or brown rice tossed with sesame oil and scallions.
