Before You Get Started

A few quick notes so your sheet pan turns out perfectly:

  • Cut the chicken and veggies into similar-sized pieces so everything cooks evenly.
  • If you like saucier dinners, plan to double the sauce, half for roasting, half warmed on the stove for drizzling.
  • Cashews toast beautifully in the oven but keep them spread out so they stay crunchy, not soft.
  • Line your pan with parchment, miso sauce gets sticky once it caramelizes.
