When roasting anything, be sure to allow enough space in between the ingredients so they brown instead of steam. To make this big batch recipe, you’ll need two sheet pans. If you are not planning on having leftovers, you can also cut the recipe in half and arrange everything on 1 pan. Keep leftovers in the fridge and be sure to use them within 3 days.
