Looking for a use for leftover shredded pork? Try this pineapple pork and potato sheet pan dinner! Healthy, easy and delicious!
Sheet pan dinners are time savers when it comes to dinner success. I love making a huge batch of crockpot pork carnitas or 2 ingredient salsa verde pork during my meal prep day, then using the leftovers in so many different ways. I tripled the pork recipe last week (guys, I seriously cannot tell you how good the pork carnitas are!) and added it to my meal sized salads, eggs, and of course, tacos!
Yes, I am completely obsessed, and now I have one new way to eat it more often with this pineapple pork and potato sheet pan dinner. You’re going to wanna hop right on this train, friends.
My dinner combines so many of my favorite things into one meal. If you follow me on Instagram, you likely often see my meal sized salad paired with potatoes. Potatoes are 100% one of my favorite carb sources, and the crispy potato bites are my go-to easy ways to prepare them.
Well for this dinner, we are starting out with the crispy potato bites, but before they are fully done in the oven, we toss in leftover pork carnitas (or whatever leftover shredded pork you have on hand) + freshly diced pineapple. The combo is perfection you guys! I started with a simple topping of cultured sour cream + minced cilantro, but then I added diced tomato + avocado on top as well. Go for your favorites!
