What makes Sheet Pan Philly Cheesesteak unique is removing the bread so you can enjoy it on a plate or bowl and easily take it with you on the go.

No mess and no gluten! We added a side of potato chips to make sheet pan Philly cheesesteak a substantial meal, and the chips add to the meal's textures and flavors. If this sounds interesting to you, keep reading so you can try this easy lunch idea yourself. 

This delicious, gluten free twist packs tons of nostalgic and classic Philly cheesesteak flavors that are sure to satisfy!

Let's be honest, is there anything better than a "fresh from the deli" Philly Cheesesteak sandwich? Tender meat, savory veggies like mushrooms, onions, and peppers, plus lots of cheese? Not much that we can say for sure!

Grabbing a deli sandwich doesn't always align with our lifestyle, though. If we are trying to save money, eat better, hit our macros, or reduce sodium, then meal prepping is always a better option. But that doesn't mean that eating better has to be boring. This Sheet Pan Philly Cheesesteak recipe made with lean and affordable sirloin strip steak proves that point!

One pan. Good-for-you ingredients like protein from lean meat, veggies, and healthy fats from avocado oil and cheese. Macro friendly. It still contains all the flavors of your favorite sub, sans the bread, extra sodium, and fat. We even added in some kettle cooked chips on the side to make it feel more like a deli-style meal.

If you are following a low-carb or keto lifestyle, feel free to leave off the chips and serve yourself up an extra serving of the main event, the Philly Cheesesteak.

The star of this dish is the sirloin steak. We opted to use this cut because it is affordable, lean, and will cook fairly quickly. Plus, the sirloin will bring a great flavor that compliments the veggies so well! Those savory and umami flavors are what make this one-pan meal prep taste like a deli-style meal Monday through Thursday!

You can have this meal prep ready in under 30 minutes, which means less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying these warm summer days!

How long will Sheet Pan Philly Cheesesteak last for?

Philly cheesesteak will last for 3 to 4 days when properly stored in the fridge. Store your leftovers and planned sheet pan Philly cheesesteak meals in shallow, airtight containers. 

Can Sheet Pan Philly Cheesesteak be frozen?

Yes. If you plan on freezing your cooked sheet pan Philly cheesesteak meal, don't cook it thoroughly. That way, when you reheat the meal, it tastes fresh - the steak won't be tough and your vegetables won't be soggy. You can store the Philly cheesesteak meal in gallon freezer bags or covered airtight containers. 

Sheet Pan Philly Cheesesteak Ingredients:

• 1 lb. Sirloin Strip Steak, excess fat trimmed 
• 4 Slices Provolone Cheese 
• 3 Medium Bell Peppers, sliced 
• ½ Medium Yellow Onion, sliced  
• 4 cups Salt and Pepper Kettle-cooked Potato Chips 
• 1.5 cups Sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms 
• 2 Tbsp. Avocado Oil 
• 2 Tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce, gluten free 
• 1 Tbsp. Garlic Powder 
• 1 Tbsp. Italian Parsley 
• 1 tsp. Himalayan Pink Salt 
• 1 tsp. Ground Black Pepper 

How do you make Sheet Pan Philly Cheesesteak?

Now you're ready to cook up some hearty cheesesteak goodness? Awesome! The recipe is simple and you'll have four delicious lunches in less than 45 minutes. So get your ingredients together and let's get started!

First things first, preheat your oven and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Then grab a small bowl to whisk your sauce ingredients together. The Worcestershire sauce and seasonings go over the steak and veggies after you place them on the sheet pan. Toss the veggies in the sauce until fully coated so you don't miss out on each flavorful bite! Now your steak is ready to cook in the oven. 

Put the steak and veggies in your preheated oven to cook for 15 minutes, followed by 5 minutes of broiling to caramelize the veggies. After cooking and broiling, remove the steak from the oven and let the steak rest before slicing it into strips. All that's left to do is slice the steak and top with cheese. 

We all know that a Philly wouldn't be a Philly without melted cheese, so pop the cheese-covered steak strips in the oven and broil for 5 minutes. Once the cheese melts all over the steak, garnish your sheet pan Philly cheesesteak meal with fresh parsley. 

How to portion Sheet Pan Philly Cheesesteak?

Since we're serving this easy lunch idea with potato chips, you need to keep the chips separate from the cheesesteak so they don't get soggy. You need four dual-compartment meal prep containers like these. Put your Philly cheesesteak in the bigger compartment and your chips in the other compartment. However, we suggest adding the chips the day you plan on enjoying this meal.

Other tips for making Sheet Pan Philly Cheesesteak:

• Don't overcrowd your sheet pan so everything cooks thoroughly. The ideal size sheet pan to use is 13x18". 

• We opted to use this cut of sirloin because it is affordable, lean, and will cook fairly quickly. Plus, the sirloin will bring a great flavor that compliments the veggies so well! You can also use rib-eye. 

• Ask your butcher for thin cuts of steak. 

• Season your steak before cooking. Let the seasoning marinate by putting the steak in the fridge for at least one hour.

Healthy, gluten-free Tex Mex with Sheet Pan Salmon Fajitas

Fajitas are a popular dish in Mexican cuisine. Fajitas are versatile, simple, and flavorful - everything we love in a meal prep recipe! As you know, we make delicious meals more nutritious and diet-inclusive. Today, we're doing that with fajitas -- presenting you with Sheet Pan Salmon Fajitas! 

The fajitas dish history dates back to the 1930s and 40s when cowboys led the wild west of Texas. However, credit for the creation of fajitas goes to the Mexican ranch workers along the Rio Grande. Ranch workers received partial payment for their work in the form of food. After a day's work, ranchers received skirt steak - the toughest and least desirable part of a butchered steer. The workers made the best of the meat by cooking it up and serving it on a flour tortilla with onions and peppers. The term "fajita" comes from "faja," meaning belt or girdle - in this case, skirt. As time went on, fajitas turned into anything with meat and peppers stuffed in a flour tortilla. But today's fajitas sheet pan meal prep idea is gluten-free, so no flour tortillas here. We also swapped skirt steak for a juicy cut of salmon. Technically, these aren't fajitas -- but we won't tell if you don't. 

This sheet pan style fajita recipe adds a dose of healthy fats thanks to salmon along with antioxidant-rich veggies for a complete meal with easy cleanup!  

How long will Sheet Pan Salmon Fajitas last for?

When properly stored, Sheet Pan Salmon Fajitas will last for 3 to 4 days. Both the cooked salmon and vegetables will last at least 3 days in the refrigerator, so you can store them together. Store cooked salmon and vegetables in a shallow plastic airtight container. You can also portion the salmon and veggies to wrap in aluminum foil packets. 

Can Sheet Pan Salmon Fajitas be frozen?

Yes, you can freeze this sheet pan meal prep idea. Cooked salmon will last for 6-9 months in the freezer, no problem. If you plan on freezing this recipe, don't cook the vegetables all the way; you want them to still have their crunch when freezing. Since this is a sheet pan recipe and everything is cooked together, it's best if you only freeze the cooked salmon. Wrap each piece of salmon on parchment paper and store them in a freezer bag. 

Sheet pan Salmon Fajitas Ingredients:

For Salmon 

• 1 lb. salmon, sliced into 4 pieces 
• 2 teaspoon olive oil  
• 1 tablespoon lime juice  
• ½ teaspoon cumin 
• ½ teaspoon chili powder  
• ¼ teaspoon onion powder  
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt  

For Vegetables 

• 1 tablespoon olive oil  
• 3 cups sliced bell peppers  
• 1 cup sliced white button mushrooms  
• 1 cup sliced sweet white onion  
• ¼ teaspoon sea salt  
• ⅛ teaspoon cracked black pepper  

For serving 

• 8 gluten-free tortillas 
• ⅓ cup cilantro  
• 4 lime wedges 
• ⅔ cup salsa

How do you make Sheet Pan Salmon Fajitas?

Here’s the fun part! The ease, short time, and hassle-free clean up make this sheet pan recipe a fun fajita fan favorite (say that five times fast for extra fun).

First things first - preheat your oven to 400 degrees and line a medium sheet pan (9" x 13" x 1") with parchment paper. If you haven't already done so, cut your salmon into four pieces and place them on the sheet pan skin side down. Then grab a small bowl and stir lime juice, olive oil, cumin, chili powder, onion powder, and sea salt together. Brush or spoon the seasoning mixture onto each piece of salmon. 

Once the salmon is prepped, grab a medium bowl and mix the onions, peppers, and mushrooms with olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Arrange the vegetables around the salmon and bake for 20 minutes. For added texture and burst of flavor, char the veggies; set your oven to broil for an additional 3-4 minutes. 

As your sheet pan meal cools, heat your tortillas, and get your salsa, lime wedge, & cilantro ready for a delicious gluten-free Tex Mex meal in under 35 minutes.

How to portion Sheet Pan Salmon Fajitas?

Our Sheet Pan Salmon Fajitas recipe gives you 4 healthy and savory meals. Grab four three-compartment meal prep containers and distribute tortillas with salsa, a lime wedge, & cilantro, salmon, and veggies. Your gluten-free tortillas go into the biggest compartment with lime, cilantro, and cupped salsa on top. Fill the two remaining compartments each with one piece of salmon and roasted peppers, onions, and mushrooms.

Other tips for making Sheet Pan Salmon Fajitas:

• As with any sheet pan recipe, do not overcrowd the pan. Doing so results in unevenly cooked food. 
• If you want to char your vegetables, check the salmon first. Thoroughly cooked salmon is flaky with an internal temperature of 145 degrees. 
• If you plan on freezing this recipe, make sure the salmon is completely cooled - no steam should be coming from it. Steam evaporating from the fish creates moisture, leading to bacteria. Thaw frozen salmon in the refrigerator for a few hours to overnight when you're ready to eat. 
• Trader Joe's Brown Rice Gluten-Free Tortillas are some of the best gluten-free tortillas around! 
• For more cuisine authenticity, make fresh salsa and tortillas. Make gluten-free tortillas with white rice flour and tapioca starch.
