I love sheet pan meals because they’re simple to prepare and easy to customize based on your family’s preferences. I’m also sharing my favorite substitutions so you can make this with the vegetables you have in the fridge!
Here are a few tips to making a delicious sheet pan dinner
- Don’t crowd the pan. Leaving a little space between the pieces of food will help them roast and get crispy. If they’re too close, they’ll steam instead of roast, which can result in a soggy vegetable.
- Rotate the trays and watch for hot spots. Depending on the positioning of your oven racks, you may want to swap the placement of the trays halfway through baking to ensure even browning.
How to Make Sheet Pan Chickpeas and Vegetables
Start by draining and rinsing your chickpeas, then let them dry on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Gently pat dry to remove moisture.
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper, then spread the chickpeas on one pan and the chopped potatoes on the second pan. We’ll start by roasting the potatoes and chickpeas, but save some room on your chickpea pan for the asparagus!
Drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, then sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Roast for 10 minutes then flip the potatoes and chickpeas and add the asparagus to the tray. Switch the position of the trays and continue to cook for 5-10 minutes.
The potatoes and chickpeas should be golden brown and crispy. Sprinkle with fresh dill and serve immediately!
Substitution Ideas
- I like to use small red, yellow, or purple potatoes. You can substitute fingerling potatoes or even sweet potatoes!
- If you’re looking for a different green vegetable, this recipe is delicious with broccoli! Cut into small florets and roast with the potatoes and chickpeas for the full baking time.
- For a lower-carb option, use cauliflower florets in place of potatoes.

What’s your favorite vegetable to roast?
I use the oven all the time even when it’s 90. I just love roasted sweet potatoes and brussel sprouts. At least this summer I have better AC. Half the time I leave the AC off though as I just like it warm anyway. I love how simple this meal is.
funny you should mention about the oven…there are a few staples we need the oven for, including my son’s allergy friendly chicken nuggets. But our oven went kaputz recently, so am now going without for a month or so to save for a new one.
Oh no! I did just try roasting chickpeas on the stove top and it ended up being a bit more like frying them but it worked pretty well!
What a tasty little dish to make on the spur of the moment. I like chickpeas and potatoes and might give this a try. Yum! 🙂
