There are a few things that will make this recipe easier. The first is that you’ll want either parchment paper or a silpat liner for your sheet pan. You’ll also want to consider using either a 3/4 size or a full size baking sheet. This allows for more room to lay your ingredients in a single layer. This is important so that the veggies get that wonderful caramelization and browning rather than steaming.
