This sheet pan meal is super healthy, easy to make, and tastes incredible.
The secret to a successful sheet-pan meal is including ingredients that cook at the same rate. Sometimes, you can manage this by cutting them properly. However, some items just cook faster than others. For instance, shrimp cook very quickly (3 to 4 minutes), while potatoes, even cut small, will take longer to cook. Therefore, they don’t pair well with the sheet-pan method.

WHAT SIZE SHEET PAN DO I NEED?
I use my 13×18-inch sheet pan a lot! If you don’t have a large sheet pan, use two smaller pans instead of crowding the ingredients onto one pan. This way the ingredients will get roasted, crispy edges instead of steaming and be mushy.
