A couple tips and hints about sheet pan cooking
- Always use a sheet pan with a rim (unless you want a mess on the bottom of the oven).
- Line your sheet pan with heavy-duty aluminum foil and lightly oil it (the food won’t stick, so there’s easy cleanup).
- Stay away from the fancy and more expensive “non-stick” sheet pans. When you accidentally scratch that non-stick surface, you’ll eat it…
- Don’t crowd the food. Leave room in between so the food bakes and doesn’t steam.
- Think of sheet pan cooking as you would one-pot cooking. Same idea.
