Sheet pan meals like this one make it so easy to put a healthy, satisfying meal on the table for your family. We often find that once clients and friends discover the ease of sheet pan meals, they start cooking much more! And that’s a great thing for health. Research shows that individuals who cook more at home (i.e. 6-7 nights per week), consume fewer calories on average. On the Mediterranean Diet, we don’t count calories because when you start eating real, whole foods that you’ve prepared in your own kitchen, you don’t have to!
Asparagus is a great source of fiber, folate and vitamins A, C and K while potatoes provide potassium and fiber. Serve this meal with a simple green salad to get in even more health-benefiting nutrients!
