What is Sheet Pan Jambalaya?

Jambalaya is an exceptionally popular dish that has French and Spanish influence. It consists of meat, rice and vegetables and, let’s be real—it’s straight up comfort food!

I agree with Mark Twain when he said, “New Orleans food is as delicious as the less criminal forms of sin.”
