How can I prevent food from sticking to the sheet pan?
You can alwasy line the tray with aluminum foil or parchment paper, or just spray or rub tray with your preferred oil or butter.
What temperature should I bake my sheet pan meals?
Around 400˚F usually, depending on what exactly you’re baking/roasting. Each recipe has exact temperature and bake time info.
Does a baking dish work the same as a sheet pan?
Not exactly. Baking dishes are better for “low and slow” cooking, such as casseroles, and offer higher sides to prevent spills but do not crisp food as effectively as metal sheet pans. If using glass, reduce heat by 25˚ to avoid shattering the glass.
