    Berbere Sheet Pan Dinner

    Published: Feb 2, 2023 by Richa 12 Comments

    Spice up your dinner routine with this flavorful Berbere Sheet Pan Dinner! Veggies, beans and tofu cubes are seasoned with a bold Ethiopian spice blend, baked until caramelized, then drizzled with a creamy lemon tahini dressing. Glutenfree Nutfree, Soyfree substitute option.

    Everyone loves a sheet pan dinner. Everything we love about a one-pot dinner flipped onto a sheet pan. I mean, what’s better than dumping some ingredients onto a sheet pan, popping it into the oven, setting a timer, and letting the oven do its magic while you move on to more fun things.

    a bowl of baked veggies and tofu seasoned with berbere and drizzled with creamy tahini sauce

    This vegan sheet pan dinner can be left completely unattended apart from the odd peek through the oven door. Clean-up is minimal as well because, again – just one pan.

    Ok, we have one more dish because we make a little tahini sauce on the side to drizzle the sheet pan dinner with after cooking. While the tahini sauce is optional, it is totally recommended because the creaminess of the tahini really lifts the whole dinner to a completely new level of delish.

    What makes this sheet pan dinner exceptionally good is the use of berbere – a spicy Ethiopian spice blend that contains over a dozen different ingredients.

    Amongst them are red chili peppers, fenugreek, and ginger, as well as other warming spices like coriander, cardamom, allspice, cumin, peppercorns, cloves, and cinnamon.

    You can find berbere in the spice or international section of any well-stocked supermarket or get it online or make your own!

    • Meanwhile make the tahini dressing. Add the tahini, 2 tablespoons of water, lemon juice, dried dill, salt and garlic powder to a bowl. Mix really well. Add more water as needed to make a creamy thick dressing. Taste and adjust salt, tang and flavor.
    • Once the veggies are done cooking, remove from the oven and plate them in your serving bowls and drizzle with the tahini dressing. You can add some pumpkin seeds or chopped pecans for crunch(optional). Garnish with parsley.
    • You can also add these veggies in a pita wrap and add some lettuce and tahini dressing. Or you can add these veggies to a bowl with some cooked grains , and make a bowl.

      I made this for dinner tonight. I changed up the spicing — chili powder, ground cumin, and oregano instead of the Berbere, thyme and paprika. Also used black beans and served over quinoa with guacamole and salsa. I did make the tahini sauce, which worked well with this combination.

      I made the original recipe a few weeks ago, and thought a change-up would be interesting to try. Both of us liked it. Next time – Cajun!

      Very good and easy! I used tofu and chickpeas, but with different veggies that included butternut squash as that was what I had on hand. It was delicious with the squash!

      My husband said, “This was the bomb! Definitely put it in the rotation”. I followed the recipe except left out the oil. It was so flavorful.
