# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Everything roasts on one pan so cleanup takes literally minutes
  • The herby ranch sauce makes even vegetable skeptics ask for seconds
  • You can customize the vegetables based on whatever is in your crisper drawer
02 -
  • Do not overcrowd the sheet pan or the chicken will steam instead of roast, losing that beautiful caramelization
  • Let the chicken rest for just a couple of minutes after roasting so the juices redistribute
  • Warm the pitas directly over a low gas flame for 30 seconds per side for the best texture
03 -
  • Cut your chicken and vegetables into similar sized pieces so everything finishes roasting at the same time
  • If you want extra crispy edges, run the pan under the broiler for the last two minutes of cooking
