For some strange reason, I've been resistant to the idea of sheet pan meals. Probably because I feel like it's a cop-out to just throw something on a baking sheet, roast it and call it a meal, but I have to tell you these meal prep quinoa bowls have 1000% changed my perspective.

For starters, it's easy peasy. Second, it's healthy. And third, it's surprisingly delicious!

Balsamic Tempeh & Roasted Vegetable Quinoa Bowls are perfect for are made on just ONE PAN and are perfect for MEAL PREP!

I've talked about eating the rainbow before, and why having an assortment of different fruits and vegetables is important for your diet, and this is a perfect example of one of those meals. We've got a variety of vegetables, which means we're getting a bunch of different vitamins and minerals.

And all we have to do is toss everything in a bowl, throw it on a sheet pan and roast away!

As I was planning out this recipe, I started searching for vegan sheet pan meals, and frankly, there weren't a lot of options. Most everything you see is either with chicken or shrimp, so I decided to just adapt a chicken one with tempeh.

I was inspired by the chicken sheet pan recipe from Skinnytaste. Balsamic vegetables and crispy tempeh just sounded perfect to me!

I swapped out the veggies for what I had on hand (which you can totally do too if you don't have the exact ones I used in this recipe), I changed the chicken for tempeh, and made my own balsamic dressing. It was the perfect meal and I know you're going to love it!

Of course, by the recipe title, these also make a wonderful meal prep option. Since everything is made in just one pan, you can throw it in the oven while you make some of your other recipes (like the one I have coming on Tuesday!), then pop it in containers with some fluffy white quinoa and you've got lunches/dinners for the entire week ahead.

Here are the containers I recommend using for meal prep; they're glass, they're oven and microwave safe, and they're thin so they don't take up a ton of room in the fridge!

So go ahead and take 35 minutes today and make this recipe. Pinky promise you'll be glad you did 😉

  2. LOVED this. Made it with two poached eggs over the top – the buttery pieces of egg white mixed in + the yolk that coated all the veggies was sooo yummy ????

  4. I am a very mediocre/lazy cook and this turned out woooonderful. Made a ton of food and so cheap. Thanks for making such an easy and tasty recipe!

  5. Love it!!! Made exactly six servings as written—-subbed tofu for tempeh and I don’t like carrots, so I used broccoli instead. I would recommend making a bit extra of the sauce, I ended up making two batches to coat my meal fully. Tastes delicious and will keep me fed for every lunch this week—-and for less than $30.

  9. This was delicious! I made it just as written, but with tofu, and it was wonderful. I will add some garlic next time though. I used a basil and red pepper quinoa and decided that the mix would make a great Italian soup! Since I made almost twice what I can use I may freeze some of the veggies and tofu to add to a soup later in the month.
    Thanks for the quick and delicious meal!

  20. Hi there! When you meal prep this meal (i.e. 5 portions for 5 days), do you keep all 5 portions in the fridge, or can you keep some in the freezer? Is this meal freezer friendly? Love the recipe btw!

  21. Can I make this without the tempeh I could not find it in the two different grocery stores I want to? What do you suggest I replace it with?
