  • Everything roasts on one sheet pan so minimal cleanup maximum flavor
  • You can customize the vegetables based on what you have or what looks good at the market
02 -

  • Let the pan heat up in the oven while you prep for extra crispy edges

  • Preheat your baking sheet in the oven for extra crispy bottoms on the broccoli
