Vegan Sheet Pan Fajitas
Easy sheet pan dinners are pure gold, add to that super delicious and vegan and you got yourself a real winner to nourish you any day of the week in less than an hour. My fajitas or ” little strips” are made from pulled strips of meaty king oyster mushrooms mixed with peppers and onions before being seasoned and roasted to perfection (no marinading the veggies require). Pile them up on charred tortillas for the ultimate mushrooms tacos or serve in your favorite rice bowls topped with vegan sour cream, a fresh and zesty tomato salsa, my favorite vegan queso or go for some tropical vibes with my mouthwatering mango basil sauce from my favorite tofu noodles bowl. This one never gets old!
Ingredient Notes + Tips
- King Oyster Mushrooms – Absolutely the best meaty mushrooms to use in your vegan fajitas for both flavor and texture. You can just break or slice off the caps and using your fingers pull shreds off of the stalks. I like to have some medium strips and some thinner ones so you end up with a mix of textures as they roast with some crispy edges and some meatier strips throughout. When in season golden Chanterelles can be used instead with a really exquisite flavor and texture for a special occasion like Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. Yes you may use portobello mushrooms instead but to be quite frank they just won’t be as amazing as the king oysters or chanterelles.
- Bell Peppers – You can use any colors you like here or a mix of all. If they are on the larger side one should be enough, for the medium small ones I would go for two. Discard the core and seeds and slice the pepper into thin strips similar to the mushrooms so they all cook evenly.
- Red Onion – Which is really purple but whatever you want to call it is fine. Peel and slice it into 1/3 inch slices or so, they will shrink as they roast and you want to prevent them from burning here so try your best not to slice them too thin and keep a close eye on them during the roasting process.
- On Storage – Although these fajitas are best served hot they can also be enjoyed the next day reheated in a cast iron skillet or the oven until warmed through.
The Fajita Seasonings
Before you even start your veggie prep work make sure to check your spice drawer and confirm all the necessary seasonings are present, your spices are the secret to really good fajitas. Of course you can use a store bought spice mix if you insist, but making your own is always so much better:
- Shoyu – to toss with your veggies for extra umami and help the dry spices stick.
- Sweet smoked paprika
- Onion powder
- Granulated garlic

- Ancho Chile powder
- Nutritional yeast
- Sea salt + red chili flakes to taste.
