👨🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Prep the Vegetable Mattress
Wash your baby potatoes and carrots thoroughly. Cut the potatoes into uniform quarters and slice your carrots into thick rounds. Culinary secret: Keeping your root vegetables cut to a relatively similar, chunky size ensures they finish cooking at the exact same microsecond without any pieces turning mushy! 🥔🥕
