For many of us, fall means the return of routine, cooler temperatures, and harvesting the last of summer's bounty. It's also the time of year when ingredients like squash, potatoes, and root vegetables are at their very finest. Combine that with the seasonal chill in the air, and cranking up the oven suddenly feels like a good decision for the first time in months. Here are some of our favorite sheet pan suppers that take advantage of autumn's flavors and are easy enough for the hectic back-to-school season. They're fast and nearly effortless, and clean-up is a breeze. All of these recipes are simple enough to throw together on a weeknight so you can savor all the season has to offer?both in and out of the kitchen.

Roasting all the fajita ingredients together on one sheet pan allows the spices to really marinate into one authentic flavor—and it's way easier than stovetop prep. You can also save a few minutes of night-of meal prep by prepping the chicken, onions, and peppers the night before and letting the mixture marinate in the fridge overnight. Then all you have to do is spread your ingredients out on the pan and roast for 15 to 20 minutes. If you like, you can make your own baked tortilla chips—or simply serve with cilantro, lime juice, and your favorite toppings. Ruth's kids asked her, "Why haven't you made this before?"

The chorizo has enough spice for us."
