Two-Protein Sheet-Pan
Double-Protein Keto-Paleo Dinners in One Tray
Sheet-pan dinners are a simple, clean way to enjoy two compliant proteins with keto-paleo veggies. This approach helps you hit your macros without washing a pile of dishes and typically comes together in under 40 minutes. Try pairing chicken thighs with shrimp for a quick weeknight win, or swap in salmon and pork sausage for richer flavor.

What you’ll need: two protein choices, keto-paleo vegetables, olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, and your favorite herbs. See the quick list below to prep your tray in minutes, then slide it into a hot oven and let the pan do the work.
What you’ll need
- Two protein options: e.g., boneless chicken thighs, shrimp; or salmon fillets with pork sausage.
- Keto-paleo vegetables: broccoli, bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms, or asparagus.
- Olive oil and seasonings: garlic, lemon zest, sea salt, black pepper, dried oregano or Italian herbs.
- Equipment: one large rimmed sheet pan and a silicone brush for even oil distribution.
Steps (quick guide):
- Preheat the oven to 425F.
- Prep proteins with a light coat of oil and seasoning; pat dry to help sear.
- Arrange on the pan with space between proteins and veggies to promote even cooking.
- Bake 12–18 minutes, then check for doneness; if needed, give it 3–5 more minutes until proteins reach safe temps and veggies are tender.
- Finish with a squeeze of lemon and a handful of fresh herbs before serving.
Two tasty combos to try: chicken thighs + shrimp with broccoli and peppers, or salmon + sausage with zucchini. For more protein ideas, visit the cheapest cuts of meat page for budget options.
