    February is American Heart Month, a month dedicated to shining a light on heart health. It’s an initiative that encourages us to take a look at our own healthy habits and risks to improve our heart health and decrease the risk of heart disease.

    This sheet pan meal is an excellent option to incorporate in your heart healthy meal plan. It’s loaded with fiber and nutrient rich vegetables as well as lean protein. Onions 52 Red and Yellow Onions are the veggie star of this sheet pan show. They’re colorful, crisp and delicious in so many recipes. 

    Onions are low in calories and high in vitamins C and B as well as potassium and antioxidants. They can play an integral role in immune health, iron absorption, metabolism and cellular and muscle function. As a heart health bonus, the nutrients in onions can help reduce cholesterol, improve blood pressure and fight inflammation!
