FAQs

Can I use frozen vegetables?
Yes, frozen vegetables can be used, but they may release some water during cooking. You might need to increase the baking time a little.

What if I don’t have Italian seasoning?
You can easily make your own blend using dried basil, oregano, and rosemary. Just mix together about 1/2 teaspoon of each.

Can I double the recipe?
Absolutely! Just make sure your sheet pan is large enough to hold everything. If it’s too crowded, consider using two pans for even cooking.
