Notes
Don’t overcrowd the vegetables on the sheet pan. You can divide the vegetables between two sheet pans if you’d like. Ample space on the sheet pan allows for more caramelization, which is what makes this dish so delicious.
You can also add 1/2 teaspoon of Italian seasoning to the vegetables.
These have some spice. For more mild green beans, omit the red pepper flakes. I used about ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Adjust for your own personal preference.
