SUPPERS
Now you can make a healthful, perfectly caramelized dinner in your oven with little fat and no heavy sauces. All it takes is a rimmed sheet pan, strategically arranged ingredients, and high heat to seal in moisture while giving food a golden exterior. Get yourself a good sheet pan (or two) and let it become the workhorse for super-simple suppers.
