Recipe Tips

Cutting Veggies - When cutting the vegetables, make sure that they are all approximately the same size so that the cook evenly when baking.
Stir Occasionally - Toss them when baking is not necessary but it does help them brown evenly and adds more flavor.
Don’t Overcrowd - Use two pans if needed for crisp veggies. We recommend placing potatoes and carrots in a single layer.
Baking Pan - For easy cleanup, place aluminum foil on sheet pan.

Variations Ideas

Garlic Herb - Melt garlic butter with fresh thyme, oregano and drizzle over the top right before serving.
Spicy Twist - Sprinkle with smoked paprika or crushed red pepper flakes for a delicious variation.
Honey Mustard - Toss with Dijon, chopped onion and honey before roasting. This is my husbands favorite!
Complete Meal - Add chicken thighs or sausage for a full dinner made all on the sheet pan.
Cheese - Right before serving sprinkle parmesan cheese or feta cheese for even more flavor.
