The One-Tray Protocol
1
Zone Mapping
Divide your sheet pan into zones: dense proteins on one side, quick-cooking vegetables on the other. Stagger start times — add veggies 10 minutes after proteins.
2
Parchment Lining System
Always line with parchment paper. This cuts cleanup to 30 seconds and prevents protein from sticking, preserving portion integrity for containers.
3
High Heat Sear Finish
Broil for 2 minutes at the end. This creates caramelized edges that hold up during fridge storage and reheat better than low-temp-only cooking.
