The past week in L.A. has felt, at least to me, unseasonably cold for this time of year. And I happen to live in one of those apartment complexes with old gas heaters that mean you either leave it off and freeze or turn it on and suffocate under a wave of oppressively hot air.

Here are some of my favorite sheet pan dinners from our archives that I turn to again and again for inspiration, or when I just want everything done at once.

Dried kimchi seasoning stands in for Cajun seasoning in this sheet pan version of a shrimp boil where the ingredients, instead, get broiled until hot and tender. Look for kimchi seasoning at H Mart or other Asian grocery stores.

All the cooking for this dish takes place in the oven and couldn’t be easier. You can even prepare the onions on the baking sheet in advance and refrigerate them for a day so you can throw them directly into the oven when ready to start cooking.

The best way to use up leftovers is to throw them onto a big pizza. You can top this finished pie with whatever bits and pieces need eating or just enjoy it as a classic Margherita. Bake it with just the sauce first; that way the crust will be perfectly cooked by the time the cheese is melted and bubbly on top.

If you want to make the nachos vegetarian or vegan, substitute the beef with a couple of cans of your favorite beans or 2 pounds of Beyond Beef, then use vegetable stock and vegan cheeses and sour cream.
