Hi Taylor,

I love all these ideas for sheet pan meals. Perfect for meal prepping for busy week days. i was wondering if you can use the marinade for veggies too?

- Taylor Stinson says

  Hey Zedi! Most of these recipes has you incorporate sauce/marinades with the meat and veggies. If you’d like to leave the meat out, most of the sauces will also go great with veggies alone. Hope that helps!

These look really yummy! I’m looking for an easy way to “prep ahead” for my Mom so she eats well when I vacation. Are these freeze-able?

Thanks!

  Some of them should be freezable – you may want to go to the specific links as they might include freezing instructions.
