A simple, plant-based, protein-packed sheet pan dinner that requires minimal prep and delivers maximum flavor. Perfect for busy weeknights!

✅ Serves: 4

⏱️ Prep Time: 10 minutes

🍽️ Cook Time: 35–40 minutes

Ingredients

Sheet Pan Meal

1 (8 oz) package tempeh, cut into small cubes or crumbled
1 (32 oz) bag frozen hash browns (southern-style diced potatoes)
1 (28 oz) bag frozen seasoned broccoli & cauliflower (such as Bird’s Eye brand)

Seasoning

Soy sauce (enough to lightly coat the tempeh and potatoes—about ¼–⅓ cup)
Garlic powder, to taste (generous sprinkle)
Nutritional yeast, to taste (generous sprinkle)

Homemade Ranch Dip

1 cup plain, unsweetened almond-based yogurt
1 Tbsp lemon juice or apple cider vinegar (about ½ a lemon)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
¾ tsp salt
½ tsp dried dill
½–1 tsp dried chives
½ tsp Italian seasoning

Instructions

Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
Prepare the Tempeh & Potatoes
Add the diced potatoes and tempeh onto the sheet pan. Drizzle with soy sauce until lightly coated. Sprinkle generously with garlic powder and nutritional yeast. Toss to combine and spread everything into an even layer.
Add the Veggies
Add the broccoli and cauliflower mix to the sheet pan. (If already seasoned, no extra seasoning is needed. If unseasoned, lightly sprinkle with salt, pepper, and herbs.)
Bake
Bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the potatoes are golden and the tempeh edges are slightly crisp.
Make the Ranch Dip
In a small bowl, whisk together all ranch dip ingredients until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Serve
Serve the sheet pan meal hot with the homemade ranch for dipping or drizzling.

🌱 Optional Add-Ins

Add sliced red onion or bell pepper for extra color and flavor.
Sprinkle with smoked paprika or black pepper before baking for extra seasoning.
Top with fresh parsley or chives after baking for brightness.
