I dreamed a dream where every meal I made was just thrown onto a sheet pan and baked. Creating a literal entire meal that was one step. Well, these vegan spicy pineapple and veggie fajitas are a dream come true. Mix up my favorite spicy fajita seasoning. Toss it with pineapple and veggies all in one bowl. Spread on a sheet pan, bake until brown and juicy. Stuff your favorite tortilla with the sweet and spicy perfection. Top with some guacamole, maybe salsa and vegan sour cream, cilantro (which makes everything better) and devour. This will be your new go-to lazy meal.
The whole process takes about 30 minutes and while these are the veggies I use, you can try all kinds of veggies using this recipe. Sometimes I just use what I’ve got in the fridge. I particularly enjoy broccoli as a substitute in these fajitas! However, I must highly recommend not skipping the pineapple. It makes these fajitas stand out and it makes them a total show stopper. These are no ordinary vegan fajitas and the pineapple makes that very obvious!
I personally don’t love bell peppers, so I use mini sweet peppers in this recipe, but if you are a huge bell pepper lover, by all means you can take that route. I am however crazy about jalapenos, so if you want to reduce the heat a bit, you can skip them. There is something so wonderful about the marriage of pineapple and jalapeno though. It is almost impossible to eat just one of these fajitas.
These vegan spicy pineapple and veggie fajitas are also for all my gluten-free peeps out there. Use some corn tortillas and boom. You’ve got yourself a super easy, sheet pan, gluten-free and vegan dinner!

I made this tonight. It was absolutely delicious. I never thought about putting pineapple in my fajitas. Great idea! Thanks for the recipe.
This is SO GOOD. I will be making this again. So easy, so fast, so delish! My first time ever buying a pineapple actually. I regret not eating more of it. Thank you!
OMG I just made these and we all devoured it! So friggan AMAZING, the flavours are so wonderful!! Huge hit with my super picky husband. The recipe was wonderful and everything came together super quick. Thank you for the recipe, I LOVE your site!
Just made this tonight, tasted really good!!!
Thanks for sharing 😘
I was a littler nervous about adding pineapple to fajitas but it was amazing. My husband and I ate waaayyy too much because it was really good. This recipe will definitely be replacing my old fajitas recipe and going into my recipe rotation.
This meal is literally bursting with flavor. Had no idea how roasting the pineapple would turn out but all that sweet juiciness made this absolutely divine. I ate all of this myself over the span of 2 days 😅 the flavor is unreal. Great way to get all those wonderful nutrients from veggies and fruit. I added some mashed avocado. Absolutely perfect
