chelsea’s recipe tips

Sheet Pan Dinner Recipes: Tips for Success

  • Cut ingredients to similar sizes: so everything cooks evenly.
  • Spread food in a single layer: to avoid steaming; use two pans if needed.
  • Add ingredients in stages: so firmer vegetables cook first.
  • Use a large pan: to prevent overcrowding and encourage browning.
  • Dry everything well: Extra moisture prevents browning, so pat proteins and rinsed vegetables dry before seasoning.
  • Finish with fresh herbs, citrus, cheese, avocado, or sauce: for extra flavor.
