Celery Free Sheet Pan Ginger-Scallion Chicken Dinner
Sheet pan dinners are a weeknight lifesaver, and this ginger-scallion version delivers bold, restaurant-worthy flavor with minimal cleanup. Bone-in, skin-on chicken roasts alongside sweet potato, carrots, and zucchini, all brought together by a glossy glaze built from coconut aminos, fresh ginger, honey, turmeric, and garlic. The result is caramelized, fragrant, and deeply satisfying — the kind of meal that makes the whole kitchen smell incredible. For anyone navigating celery-free eating, this recipe is naturally free of the ingredient without any awkward substitutions or workarounds; every component is straightforward and easy to verify. A finishing hit of lime juice and fresh scallions brightens everything up just before serving, cutting through the richness of the roasted chicken. It all comes together on a single pan, which means less time scrubbing dishes and more time enjoying dinner.
