Best One Pan Parmesan Crusted Vegetable Quesadillas Recipes

ONE-PAN PARMESAN-CRUSTED VEGETABLE QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Combine the 2 ounces Parmesan with the mozzarella and Cheddar with your fingers in a small bowl and set aside.
• Wrap the spinach in paper towels to remove excess moisture. Transfer to a large bowl and add the quinoa, corn and beans. Stir to combine and set aside.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
• Meanwhile, place the tortillas on a clean work surface. Working on only the lower halves, divide 1/2 of the cheese blend among the 4 tortillas; top with the spinach-quinoa filling, then sprinkle on the remaining cheese blend. The cheeses are usually salty enough, but season with salt and pepper, if desired. Fold each tortilla in half to make a half-moon.
• Spray the preheated skillet with nonstick cooking spray for about 3 seconds to coat. Add 2 of the quesadillas to the skillet and cook until the cheese starts to melt and the tortillas are light brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer the quesadillas, cooked side-down, to a plate. Repeat with the remaining 2 quesadillas.
• Sprinkle 1/4 cup of the Parmesan into the skillet in a half-moon shape, then place 1 quesadilla, cooked side-up, directly on the Parmesan to create a crust. Continue to cook until the Parmesan crust browns and the cheese filling is fully melted, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and repeat with the remaining Parmesan and quesadillas. Serve immediately or make ahead and keep warm (see Cook's Note).

CRAVE-WORTHY VEGETABLE QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Heat the oil or butter in a wide skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and spread into one layer. Cook, without moving, until browned on one side, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Stir the mushrooms around the pan, and then add the sliced onions, peppers, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, oregano, smoked paprika, pepper and the salt. Cook the vegetables until the onions have softened and smell sweet, about 5 minutes. Add the kale or spinach and cook until bright green and wilted, another 2 to 3 minutes.
• Make quesadillas or transfer the cooked vegetables to an airtight container and refrigerate up to 5 days.
• Heat a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Lightly spray the pan or brush it with oil, and then place one tortilla down into the pan.
• Spread a quarter of the cheese over the tortilla and then spoon a quarter of the cooked vegetable mixture onto one half. Carefully fold the tortilla in half, and then use a spatula to press the top down so that it stays folded. Cook until the underside is toasted, about 2 minutes.
• Carefully flip the quesadilla and cook until the second side is toasted and the cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the quesadilla to a cutting board and cut in half. Repeat with remaining quesadillas.
• Keep cooked quesadillas warm in a 200 degree F oven while you finish making the remaining quesadillas.

SHEET PAN PARMESAN CHICKEN AND VEGGIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• Combine oregano, parsley, paprika, garlic powder, seasoned salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
• Place green beans, potato, bell pepper, broccoli, and garlic on the prepared sheet pan. Drizzle olive oil on top and sprinkle with 1/2 of the seasoning mix; toss to coat. Spread vegetables on one side of the pan.
• Place flour in a bowl. Place melted butter in a second bowl. Combine panko, 2/3 cup Parmesan cheese, and the remaining 1/2 of the seasoning mix in a third bowl.
• Remove any excess fat from chicken breasts and slice into 1 1/4 inch strips. Coat chicken strips in flour, then dredge in melted butter, and then dip in the Parmesan-panko mixture until heavily coated. Place on the empty half of the sheet pan and sprinkle with any remaining Parmesan-panko mixture, pressing onto the chicken.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, flip chicken strips, stir the veggies, and return to the oven. Bake until chicken juices run clear and veggies are crisp-tender, 10 to 15 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
• While the chicken is baking, whisk together mayonnaise, ketchup, garlic powder, and Worcestershire sauce.
• Remove chicken and veggies from the oven. Toss veggies with remaining Parmesan cheese. Serve with dipping sauce.

CHEESE-CRUSTED FAJITA VEGGIE QUESADILLAS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a 12-inch cast-iron pan over medium-high heat. Add the peppers, onion and zucchini. Season with the smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Toss to coat with the oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and browning, 10 to 12 minutes. Add the garlic and oregano and stir to combine. Cook until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn off the heat.
• Heat a large nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Grease the pan with the cooking spray. Carefully place a tortilla in the hot pan. Add 3 tablespoons cheese to half of the tortilla, spreading the cheese to the edges and allowing some to spill over to create a cheesy crust. Top with a hearty spoonful of the cooked pepper mixture, then top with another 3 tablespoons cheese. Fold the bare half of the tortilla over the cheese and pepper filling. Press down to flatten with a spatula. Cook until the cheese is melted and crusty and the tortilla is browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a serving platter. Season with salt and a squeeze of lime. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, peppers and cheese, wiping down the pan as needed. Serve with sour cream and salsa for dipping, if desired.
