Even though I am not a strict vegetarian, I have my days where I just don’t want to eat meat. Usually a few days a week I will make vegetarian or vegan meals. Sometimes though, those vegetarian dinners can seem super intimidating, and I just don’t want to put in that much effort and time in the kitchen. 

Sheet pan meals though have become my go-to! When I want something quick and easy, the sheet pan comes in to save the day. 

One of my more recent favorite vegetarian sheet pan meals has been chickpea fajitas. Vegetarian fajitas with chickpeas are just so easy to make and super delicious! They are also perfect for meal prepping so you can have food the entire week.
