5 Sheet Pan Secrets Most Cooks Don't Know (+ Secret Sauce)

Stagger your veggies; start with root veggies like carrots, beets, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and parsnips as they take longer to cook.

Season in stages: coat veggies with oil, add salt, pepper, and your favorite seasoning blend to ensure flavor and browning.

Instead of oiling the pan, oil the veggies directly, toss well, and then place them on the sheet pan.

Use high heat and preheat your pan to ensure proper roasting instead of steaming.

Don't crowd the pan; give veggies enough room to roast properly.

Make the secret sauce: start with half a cup of mayonnaise, add 1/4 cup of barbecue sauce, garlic powder, and your choice of hot sauce.

Finish the sauce with a squeeze of lime juice and add more hot sauce to taste.

Add a little bit of green to your sheet pan and finish with a squeeze of lemon and the secret sauce.
