Fool Proof Tips to Successful Stress Free Roasting
- Veggies cut smaller roast fast and get more crisp.
- Preheat oven at least 30 min in advance so it’s super hot.
- Don’t open the oven to check! You’ll let heat out and it’s be less crispy.
- MOST IMPORTANT – don’t crowd the pan. If there are too many veggies on the sheet pan it’ll steam and get mushy.
