Welcome to another month of Cook With Sam Club! 💛
I polled you and asked what recipe should be June's challenge and everyone voted: Vegan BBQ Sheet Pan Dinner. And I am so excited about it!!

It's smoky, hearty, and everything cooks together on one pan. BBQ tofu bites, crispy potatoes, and a rainbow of roasted veggies all glazed in sticky, caramelized BBQ sauce. It's the kind of meal that feels like summer on a plate. 🌽🫑
Whether you're firing up the oven for a weeknight dinner, doing some summer meal prep, or just craving those smoky BBQ vibes without the grill, this one delivers. Get the recipe here: Vegan BBQ Sheet Pan Dinner

Excellent and easy recipe Sam! Wonderful mix of starch, veggies and protein. We enjoyed it "as is." I didn't add another starch. I'm a big fan of tray-bake meals and this one will remain in rotation for sure!
Sam Turnbull @ It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken says
