Cashew Miso Sheet Pan Dinner

If you love a one-pan dinner that tastes like takeout but feels a whole lot fresher, this Cashew Miso Sheet Pan Dinner is about to be your new obsession. It’s loaded with tender chicken, roasted veggies, crunchy cashews, and a glossy miso-ginger sauce that caramelizes right in the oven.

Everything cooks together on one pan, and the clean-up is a dream. Serve it over rice, squeeze a lime on top, and dinner is handled.

Before You Get Started

A few quick notes so your sheet pan turns out perfectly:

  • Cut the chicken and veggies into similar-sized pieces so everything cooks evenly.
  • If you like saucier dinners, plan to double the sauce, half for roasting, half warmed on the stove for drizzling.
  • Cashews toast beautifully in the oven but keep them spread out so they stay crunchy, not soft.
  • Line your pan with parchment, miso sauce gets sticky once it caramelizes.

How to Make Cashew Miso Sheet Pan Dinner

1. Prep the Oven & Pan

Preheat to 425°F and line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment for easy clean-up.

2. Make the Miso Sauce

Whisk together all sauce ingredients until smooth. If you prefer a thicker glaze, simmer half the sauce on the stove for 2–3 minutes and save for drizzling later.

3. Coat the Chicken

Add the chicken pieces to a bowl and toss with half of the miso sauce.

4. Toss the Veggies

On the sheet pan, combine the bell peppers, broccoli, onion, carrots, and cashews with the remaining sauce and a drizzle of neutral oil. Spread into an even layer.

5. Add the Chicken

Scatter the coated chicken pieces over and among the veggies so everything roasts evenly.

6. Roast

Bake for 20–22 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (165°F) and the veggies have caramelized edges.

7. Finish & Serve

Toss everything together right on the sheet pan. Drizzle with any reserved sauce and serve over basmati rice with scallions, sesame seeds, and fresh lime.
