Tips to make Sheet Pan Everything Bagel Chicken and Veggies tastier:
* Use high-quality Everything Bagel seasoning for the best flavor. You can also make your own by mixing the ingredients listed above.
* Don't overcrowd the sheet pan, as this can prevent the chicken and vegetables from cooking evenly. Use a large enough sheet pan to accommodate the ingredients in a single layer.
* Toss the vegetables with olive oil, salt, and pepper before adding them to the sheet pan to ensure they're well coated and caramelized.
* Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute, making it more tender and juicy.
* Experiment with different vegetables, such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, or sweet potatoes, to change up the flavor and texture.
Other versions you can make using different ingredients:
