Sing it with me, y'all. FALL IS HERE!!! Yes, even in Texas, the weather is starting to cool (and is almost bearable) and the leaves are beginning to change colors on the trees.

I don't know what it is about the shift in temperatures but this is the time of year that I start craving stews, casseroles, and roasted meals.

I think it's the warmth of the food plus the collection of savory flavors that are most prevalent during this season.

Roasted Shrimp and Vegetables is the Perfect Fall Sheet Pan Meal

Personally, I am partial to cooking sheet pan meals for my family. They are easy, adaptable, and yummy.

I like that I can prep and cook an entire meal in under 15 minutes of hands-on time.

I really like cooking up a sheet pan meal whenever i need to clean out my fridge.

Just toss a protein on a pan, cut up a bunch of vegetables into bite-sized pieces, and mix everything up with a liberal dose of coconut oil, salt, and pepper.

Roast and enjoy! Yum, right?

Then check out my tried and true recipe for roasted shrimp and vegetables is the perfect fall sheet pan meal featuring Crisco® Organic Coconut Oil.

Why Cook With Coconut Oil?

I like cooking with Crisco® Organic Coconut Oil because it gives my food a deeper, smoother taste after the roasting process.

I particularly like roasting chicken and shrimp, squash, sweet potatoes, and broccoli in coconut oil – I think it really enhances their flavors.

I like that I can grab a sheet pan and toss together some vegetables and coconut oil, do the same with a meat and anther pan, roast, and then pair with quinoa or rice.

Since unrefined coconut oil retains a bit of it's coconut odor and flavor, it makes the meal really special and tasty.

For those of you who do not like the taste of coconut but love using a great organic substitute for butter, margarine, or other oils – give refined coconut oil a try.

It's nice that you have options, right?
