Anti Inflammatory Sheet Pan Mediterranean Tempeh with Broccolini & Mushrooms
This sheet pan dinner is a weeknight powerhouse that happens to check every box for eating with intention. Tempeh soaks up a bold marinade of lemon juice, turmeric, cumin, smoked paprika, and oregano before hitting a hot oven, where it turns deep golden and satisfying alongside broccolini, cremini mushrooms, and burst cherry tomatoes. Turmeric and extra-virgin olive oil are two of the most well-researched ingredients in the anti-inflammatory kitchen, and here they do double duty as both flavor builders and functional heavyweights. Kalamata olives and capers add a briny, Mediterranean punch that makes the whole pan taste far more complex than the effort involved. Everything roasts together at 425°F, so you get caramelized edges, charred broccolini tips, and jammy tomatoes without babysitting a single pan. A scatter of fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon right before serving brightens the whole dish and ties the flavors together beautifully. It serves four and comes together with minimal cleanup — exactly the kind of meal you'll want on repeat.
