I recently discovered how delicious and easy sheet pan dinners are! Now you too can enjoy these vegan sheet pan dinners 3 ways: Tofu Curry Carrot & Chickpea, Balsamic Tempeh Veggie & Potato, and Vegan Sausage Apple Brussels & Sweet Potato. Each meal has 30 grams of protein or more and less than 500 calories per serving.
Did you know? A vegan diet may help reduce the risk of prostate, breast and colon cancers (source). Of course, any diet that limits processed foods and emphasizes plant foods like legumes, vegetables and fruits is beneficial for cancer prevention, even if you’re not full vegan!
Curry Tofu Carrot & Chickpeas
For the Curry Tofu Carrot & Chickpea dinner, I cubed a block of extra firm tofu and pressed all the water out using paper towels. I washed and cut cauliflower into smaller florets, washed and cut my carrots into bite-sized slices, and drained and rinsed a can of chickpeas (garbanzo beans). Then I tossed everything with avocado oil, curry powder, and sea salt. Finally, I roasted everything at 400 degrees F for 30-35 minutes. SO EASY!
Balsamic Tempeh Veggie & Potatoes
For the Balsamic Tempeh Veggie & Potato dinner, I marinated the tempeh in balsamic, olive oil and spices for 5-10 minutes. Then, I washed and cut up some peppers, onion, eggplant and potatoes. I tossed all the veggies in the leftover marinade and baked everything at 400 degrees F for 30-35 minutes.
Vegan Sausage Apple Brussels & Sweet Potatoes
For the Vegan Sausage Apple Brussels & Sweet Potato, I sliced up Smoked Apple Sage Vegan Sausage, then washed and cut up some sweet potato, Brussel sprouts and apples. I then tossed everything in avocado oil, fresh sage, pepper and sea salt! Finally, everything roasted at 400 degrees F for 30-35 minutes. This was my favorite of the three but all of them I was honestly blown away with all of these recipes!

Best of all, this stir fry is easy to make and comes together quickly. The whole family loved it, especially my husband who loves all Asian food!
