Could we get more of this? We are looking for ways to eat healthier without getting bored that doesn’t take an absurd amount of time. This video was great! I’d love ideas with more pantry staples that everyone should have at home.
Yes, please! I've been around the universe of diets. Most all work in some way. But they all fail similarly - - - Reproducibility and Longevity. You might be able to hit keto for 6+ months. But you can't do that for the rest of your life. Even Mr. Keto himself (Peter Attia) says keto isn't worth it. You might be able fast for a few months. But it's difficult to continue for the rest of your life. What you probable can do for the rest of your life is cook these full sheet pan meals on Sunday morning to cover the full week. So you're in a good spot M - F because your life will get in the way. No worries because the decision of what to eat will have already been made. You can choose wisely and easily! Most people struggling with weight issues aren't lifestyle dieters or ripped freaks otherwise. We're just normal people that tend toward easy gainers. Plus we have annoying jobs, intense families, struggles, etc. These high quality sheet pan meals are the easy button.
Seconded!
Thirded!
This and not a ton of dishes 😊
Yes we need more of these videos! I’m trying to lose that Covid 20 I gained 😂
Give Bri a thumbs up for sticking with his bit on taking big bites of the ingredients he is using! That honkin' bite of Feta probably cost $2-3 alone!
That whole block of feta is like 1.50 in germany lol
@@janknoblich4129Cheap in the UK, too.
That’s light work compared to spoonfuls of cinnamon I’ve seen him attempt to ‘taste’! 😂
I'm in!
@@janknoblich4129sheep's milk feta is super expensive In the states cows milk feta is cheaper but still probably 4-7 dollars for the block he used
Thanks for inadvertently creating easily veganized meals! For the vegans, dish 1 - sub in seitan, dish 2 - no subs necessary 🫨, dish 3 - sub in tofu. I’ll be trying these combos with mods!
Awesome idea Bri!! Just one little tip courtesy of cooking god Jacques Pepin: if you peel the “woody” parts of the asparagus with a veg peeler you’ll get to use 90-95% of them instead of 60-70%, they’re actually almost as tender as the upper part if you do that and you waste a LOT less of them.❤
You’re videos have surpassed Joshua weissman in creativity and quality. Best food KZheadr IMO.
Please oh please more like these! I’m cooking all three. No one else cooks with zucchini’s on their channel. Your videos keep me busy and happy in the kitchen!
Bone-in skin-on chicken thighs are my go to dinner! I make them with roasted potatoes. I use fennel on mine. I also roast / bake on parchment paper for easy clean up.
Oh this one will be forwarded to my mom immediately: She's all about the sheet pan meals. And over the course of the cooking journey last year, basically we both have all of the ingredients on hand.
Also forwarded this to my mom! Lol
I forwarded it to my Mom too.😊
We just finished all 3 dishes last night. We loved all of them. The curried vegetables were our favorite and we are going to rerun them with chicken. More like this, if you can, but we love watching and trying whatever you put out!
Thanks very much for using these recipes and trusting me haha!
I am such a wonderful FAN of your practical meal prep recipes- love them just as much as your fancy and fun stuff.
That looks perfect - not much hassle, tasty, comforting and still relatively healthy
Brian, you bring light to my kitchen. at least once a week i prepare some of your dishes. thank you for the work that you do!
Thank you for showing us recipes that aim at different things - being as quick as possible, or as tasty as possible, or as affordable as possible, etc. - you're making everyone happy in this way. ^^
Oh fun fact Brie, my mom makes a pasta dish that is 80% of the same ingredients as that greek veggie side, but insted of feta cheese she uses salt-cured capers and chilli and garlic infused olive oil. We use course tangliettele for pasta since they go amazing with that fresh, spicy and umami-forward flavour of the sauce. Its called Pasta Putanesca and (apparently) my mom got it from her italian friend that travels between parts of Europe a lot. Its amazing, I highly recommend anyone to try it.
I just adore you guys. How do you always know exactly the kind/style of recipe I need right when I need it? I'm so excited to try all of these. Thanks for your incredible content.
This is where it's at. As a work from home mom of three, I'm always looking for healthy, straightforward and quick. Made the chicken and potatoes, all members of the family crushed it. More of these kinds of videos, please!
Please do more of these sheet pan recipes! Even though my oven quit on me a year ago, I have a large-ish toaster oven that fit pans up to 12 inches long. It's really good for baking and can do these recipes cut in half for my husband and I.
Absolutely LOVE your videos. Recipes look amazing and you explain everything in a simple yet in-depth way that makes sense. Thank you for the amazing recipes!
@BrianLagerstrom the "roasted veggie feta olive thing"is called "ΜΠΡΙΑΜ" (spelled BREE-AM)in Greek cuisine and it's an excellent spring-summer dish next to the sea
Came here to share that it looked similar to a briam. The one time I made it, it also had potatoes in it. The briam I had was also layered and much wetter than what Brian made here.
@@neelshiv Yup, sounds about right. There are several variations, you can put many fleshy vegetables in it, however tomato (and tomato juice or sauce), feta and fleshy veggies (be it potatoes, zucchini, eggplant, etc)all in a sheet pan in the oven are the cornerstones of the recipe
That salmon looks incredible! Will have to try it sometime Thanks for all the great weeknighting videos, Bri! It's really encouraged me to cook a lot more over the last few months and I would never have believed how big a difference it made in my mental state if you tried to convince me to cook more before I actually started doing it.
Please more videos like this ….. we love cooking sheet pan meals so much especially for the busy families
This video is great! I love how you throw in little cooking science facts, it helps me with getting better as a cook.
I’m so glad I found out about you! You are making cooking for my family of 4 so much easier throughout the week. Omg thank u so much
Thank you for being my primary cooking inspiration. I've improved so much over the past few years and it is, no joke, 90% thanks to you. Even in this video--I know I'm rarely going to buy broccolini (usually it's $$$ around here) and I'm not huge on asparagus, but I do love green beans and never considered a succotash as a pairing for salmon. Hell, I didn't know what a succotash was until 10 minutes ago. And I especially never considered just doing it all on two sheet trays in the oven. I may not always follow your recipes exact, but I always find some new ideas while watching. Thanks for doing what you do
The first sheet-pan recipe is _exactly_ what I've been looking for without knowing it in regards to flavor profile. I love these kinds of meals ever since I saw Adam Ragusea's videos on the concept. Thank you!
Great ideas to save us some time after the last two weeks of just cooking palooza. THANK YOU! You always come up with such great flavour combinations. And, special mention for your pumpkin pie. Damn it's good
Omg Bri you’re my hero thank you so much for this; I live alone and I’ve gotten so tired of having to cook every day. I’m all good with eating the same meal so these will keep me set for a week
Made the Chicken and Potatoes bake with vegetables tonight. It was a huge hit with the family. It is not often I find something all 4 kids enjoy.
I am going to make every single one of these. They all look amazing. Thank you for the inspiration and ideas.
I am really loving these healthy meal prep type meals.
My husband and I made these last week and it was so quick, easy and delicious! Not to mention healthy! More more more! Thanks so much!
I would characterize that first vegetable side as a kind of sheet pan ratatouille😊 Thank you for sharing this, Brian!
Agree. I wish I had thought to say it that way.
@@BrianLagerstrom Update: I made it last night and yes, this is definitely in the ratatouille family. It’s absolutely delicious. Thanks again for sharing this recipe, Brian!
but, it tasted so much better...
Thank you so much for the sheet pan dinners with easy prep. These are awesome ❤
Love simple dishes packed with flavor, and all of these fit that bill. I’ll definitely be trying them. Thanks, Bri. Happy New Year!
This is great! I LOVE LOVE your videos because it helps me to prepare batch food for a week for my family. Your recipes are so easy to follow and it taste soooooo good. Could you please do more of easy batch cooking? My kids in college are preparing batch food with your videos and so am I at home. We love you!!!
Love these recipes! I'll have to make all of them. More sheet pan cooking recipes please! 😊
In the last two weeks, I have made the chicken and potatoes with Greek vegetables and the curry vegetable sheet pan dinners -- WOWZA. They were delicious. Even my husband, who is a meat and potato guy loved the curry. Please keep them coming.
It's nice to see something like this being put out by someone like you. Half of my meals are just ideas rather than recipes. My son asked me a few days ago what I was making and I said I don't know. Pot of stuff. It was like broccoli, potatoes, zucchini, corn, peppers, onion, and beans. With some vaguely Mexican style seasonings.
Good God man, you are so good at describing what needs to be done in the most accessible way possible. So impressive.
Perfect timing as always - this is my busy season at work (Q1) and finding time to cook gets really difficult so fast and easy (so I can multi-task and work while food is cooking) is EXACTLY what I need to avoid resorting to take out. Thank you!!
VERDICT: The Greek chicken sheet pan meal was a HIT. And as easy as advertised. I was able to take a quick break from work, get everything in the oven, and keep working while dinner cooked. Can't wait to try the others!
These are getting made ASAP. Thank you Brian!
Love sheet trays meals. Been doing them for awhile. Protein can easily be changed up. Good job Bri !
Every single one of these looks absolutely delish! Can't wait to try 'em all!
looks delish and easy. such a timely vid given the over indulgent holiday season. Thanks Bri!
Man thank you for showing how easy it can be to eat awesome, flavourful, nutritious home-cooked meals
Just found you and Lauren. Great young adults. Really appreciate what you do. Happy new year kids. Cheers from Toronto
I will DEFINITELY be using the first recipe. I've been looking for a skin on bone in chicken thigh recipe with potatoes so it's like you read my mind!
Just made that first one. It's spectacular. Almost but not quite overwhelmingly flavorful. The chicken skin is crunchy, the potatoes are super soft except for the crispy bottoms, the veggie... thingie... tastes amazing. Will absolutely make this again. Thanks for the recipe!
These are amazing!!! Saving this to my bookmarks for later.
I have had the first and last recipe on repeat since this video was posted love these veggie heavy sheet pan meal!
Delicious and healthy, starting the new year off right, forget fast food , all of these dishes can be made cheaply and quickly, im definitely adding them to my menu especially the Greek chicken, new york
Great to see how you use grams for everything(including liquids) this is very common in many kitchens. it takes out all the guesswork, and streamlines the prep process, kudos!
I love sheet pan dinners, thanks for more great ideas Brian. Happy New Year!!!
Love your vids bro I have learned a lot from them. Keep up the good work and thank you.
Love the sheet pan dinner ideas, keep em coming!
Dude, I'm SO cooking all of these! These dishes are exactly what I want to cook on daily basis and I think that if I treat my fiance with such blissful plates of roasted love and veggies when he comes home from work he'll melt from happiness 😂
I love sheet pan meals and these look amazing!
They all look so yummy. Thx for doing this, filming it and sharing it with us. 👍👍👍👍👍
Dude, this recipes are sick! Pls do more of these sheet pan recipes, thank you!
Hi Bri! This was so nice! With small kids behind my back it's little effort with great outcome. Thanks again!
I love this kind of content. Really enjoyed your previous budget meals video also.
I made the aloo gobi one and everyone loved it! Make sure you use a deep enough pan, it was boiling over in my sheet tray- will make again for sure!
I love doing the oven tray meals in the air frier. I have a giant one and I legit do my entire work weeks cooking in it.
Hey, Bri! Found you through your bread video, now sticking around for other cooking vids and I honestly can’t thank you enough for the variability you offer, for the substitutes you mention and in general for ease of the dishes. The color pallet is also always very interesting and it makes cooking a lot more fun. I’m going to be heading into an office routing really soon and I was thinking about ways to cook for the week and this video is just perfect! The only thing I’d ask, if possible, more veggie dishes? I’m looking to cut my meat intake and it’s very hard to find good chefs that do traditional cooking (that I enjoy watching!) and those that do less meaty recipes as well. Much love and respect for what you do and share! ❤
Thanks for the great videos, definitely going to try the sweet potato recipe as I have everything to make it!!
My husband just made this for our supper, ( The Chicken/ vegetable first recipe) And it’s outstanding! Delicious! 5 Stars. And we’ve decided to call your vegetable dish “ Vegetables Brian “
Your videos are so helpful!
I made the salmon and it was amazing. Your recipies are always top notch.
The recipe really is super easy, thanks!
Sweet! Brilliant! Genius!Thanks Brian Lagerstrom Einstein😊
I love sheet pan meals. Started making more about a year ago.
Great, easy recipes for weeknights
Hell yeah, thanks, Bri!
Important note, Coconut Cream is NOT the same as Cream of Coconut 😂 I didn't make the distinction once when my husband was doing the grocery run, and our curry ended up tasting like Buddy the Elf made it. Gotta get the UNSWEETENED stuff!!
The good news is that if you have any cream of coconut left over, you can make Piña coladas 😂
Hey Brian! I follow your channel for quite some time and cook the occasional recipe. But here, the first one - my god that was fantastic.
Def gonna try that sweet potato & cauliflower dish. Trying to add vegetarian meals to our rotation. This looks like something my fam would actually eat & it's very simple. Thanks Brian for sharing!
More of these please.
Thank you, Sir... much obliged!
Made the salmon and loved it! The chicken will be made tonight (or tmrw) Thanks for sharing these!
Thank you, Brian. There are nice. I will try them all (even the cauliflower...).
WOW ! Easy, fast and tasty !!!!!!!!!!!!!
what a brilliant video - thank you!
All of these dishes look delicious.
I love that none of these have cow dairy, eggs, or wheat (which I am allergic to) these are so perfect for me. can’t wait to try them! Do more like this these are exactly what I need!!
Happy new year Bri 🎉 cant wait to be on this new year new youtube journey with ya manz
this video has the meals that are great. More like this, Bri!
My mom makes the Greek chicken and veggies. For some reason she calls the veggies bake like that “Briam“.. looks really good. I’ll have to try these.
this is a lifesaver! Can't wait to try these recipes, then craft some of my own :)
I've been wanting to do a miso glazed salmon, this is perfect!
Yummy. Can’t wait to give them a try.
Greetings from Redondo Beach CA USA 🇺🇸. Your cooking method are simple and straightforward. Looks delicious, too. 🥂Cheers🌷
Hi Brian. Long time watcher, first time commenting (I think? lol). I just wanted to thank you for these sheet pan recipes. I love cooking, and cook for my family daily, but as a busy mom I can never muster up the energy to try something new, particularly if it's out of my comfort zone (e.g. East Asian, South Asian). I've made your chicken & zucchini bake and alloo gobi bake twice now and they're both huge hits. I just made the alloo gobi today again and I thought I should let you know that you're being modest when you say that the flavours are "pretty" well-rounded. It's bomb! Thank you for helping us avoid taking out Indian food when we have a craving. :)
Yey more sheet pan recipes please 😋
First time viewer, and I don't know what I like more; these sheet pan recipes of the fact that an American uses grams and Celsius. Subscribed!
Just made the first dish for my wife and me. It's so good. The feta in the veggies is just perfect. I omitted the olives because I'm a hater, but the dish is just great. Can't wait to make the others!
Coming back to say that I just made the miso-glazed salmon and it's spectacular
Brian - recently discovered your channel for sourdough and have cooked maybe 4-5 of your other recipes too - really nice work. Would like to encourage you to develop more HEALTH but good tasting recipes! Trying to also eat better in the new year!
Did the first one last night, doing chickpea one tonight! Love these
Thanks Bri! Lookjng forward to some pro level BMs in 2024 🎉🎉🎉
We have a very simple tray dish in Sweden called Pytt i Panna. Traditionally you would fry it, but it tastes just as good as a tray bake. I actually just made something very similar to your first dish, except instead of chicken I just made the veggies (Roast potatoes, tomato, onion, feta) and made Koftas to it. It really is delicious, quick, easy and a taste of the mediterranean.
The salmon and succotash turned out amazing! Probably the best fish I've ever cooked!
Dude that’s awesome thanks
