If the potatoes start to stick during turning, leave them be to develop better browning and crispiness.
Cut potatoes uniformly to ensure even cooking, and make sure vegetables are in a single layer for proper roasting.
Good to Know
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Serve immediately while hot for best texture of the roasted vegetables.

FAQ
Can I use frozen green beans instead of fresh?
Yes, but thaw and pat dry first. Frozen beans may release more moisture and take slightly longer to achieve the same texture as fresh beans.
How long will leftovers keep in the refrigerator?
Leftovers will keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container. Reheat in the oven at 350F for best texture rather than microwaving.
Can I add other vegetables to this sheet pan?
Yes, bell peppers, onions, or Brussels sprouts work well. Add harder vegetables with the potatoes and quicker-cooking ones with the kielbasa.
