Almond Free Sheet Pan Ginger-Scallion Chicken Dinner
Sheet pan dinners are a weeknight lifesaver, and this ginger-scallion version delivers serious flavor with minimal cleanup. Bone-in, skin-on chicken roasts alongside sweet potato, zucchini, and carrots until everything is caramelized and tender, while a glossy glaze built from coconut aminos, fresh ginger, honey, garlic, and turmeric does all the heavy lifting on flavor. The whole dish is completely tree-nut free — every ingredient is straightforward and easy to verify, so there's no second-guessing labels or scanning for hidden almond flour or almond oil hiding in a sauce. A finishing hit of lime juice and fresh scallions brightens everything up just before serving, making it feel restaurant-worthy straight from the pan. The technique of roasting the root vegetables first before adding the chicken is a small but smart move that ensures nothing comes out undercooked or soggy. Whether you're feeding a crowd or meal-prepping for the week, this one is bold, satisfying, and genuinely easy to pull off.
