Make your own fajita veggies at home. This recipe for vegetarian sheet pan fajitas results in vegetables that are are similar to what is served in Mexican restaurants. Use to fill flour tortillas, to make a fajita bowl or to top nachos. 

I love everything about fajitas. But my favorite part of all? Definitely the veggies!

In fact, I’ve gotten into the habit of ordering just fajita veggies when I go to a Mexican restaurant. The combination of seasoned, grilled vegetables with some tortilla chips on the side – perfection! (Side note: It’s also cheaper to order fajitas sans meat!)

Now that I know how to make delicious fajita-style vegetables at home, I make them all the time.

Sometimes I eat them fajita-style with tortillas and toppings. But most often, I pile some of the fajita vegetables on top of tortilla chips and eat them nacho-style.

The Genius Of Sheet Pan Meals

With a sheet pan meal, all ingredients are placed on a sheet pan and baked at the same time.

There’s just one pan to prep. One pan to clean up. 

Everything is cooked together. All meals should be this easy to prepare!

With these sheet pan fajitas, the vegetables are cut into roughly the same size to help ensure even cooking. The mushrooms add great umami flavor and act as a meat substitute. The vegetables are drizzled with olive oil and seasoned with a Mexican spice blend. 

They bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp and slightly charred.

This recipe is meat-free and very affordable. Consider this recipe for meatless Monday or any time you need a quick vegetarian meal idea.
