# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The edges get perfectly caramelized and almost candy-like while staying fluffy inside
  • Everything comes together in one bowl and roasts while you focus on the main dish
02 -
  • Overcrowding the pan will steam instead of roast, so use two sheets if needed
  • The maple syrup can burn if your oven runs hot, so check at 20 minutes the first time
03 -
  • Cut your cubes uniformly so everything roasts at the same rate
  • Let the hot sheet pan cool slightly before cleanup to avoid warping
