For convenience, you can’t go wrong with a sheet pan dinner! Roasted in a hot oven, the natural sugars in sweet potato, red potato, and red onion start to caramelize and take on a rich umami, flavor. Broccoli adds texture and a pleasing green contrast. If you prefer your broccoli to be brighter green than it gets in the oven, steam it until crisp-tender and add to the finished dish. Chickpeas, coated in a simple maple-balsamic dressing, provide heft, not to mention a heavenly sweet and tangy flavor. Sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and serve this toothsome combo with a leafy green salad.

Pine nuts: Toast the pine nuts on the baking pan in the preheated oven 2 to 3 minutes or until lightly browned. Immediately remove nuts from the pan, then use the same pan to roast the vegetables and beans.
