Tips!
- Make sure you don’t overcrowd the sheet pan. If veggies are all jammed together and overlapping they have a tendency to steam and you won’t get that lovely roasted texture.
- Try out different veggies. Use whichever vegetables are in season for best results!
- You can add the green beans in with the other vegetables if you would like but they tend to cook faster than the carrots, potatoes and peppers. My family like green beans that still have a bit of crunch to them so I prefer to add them later.
- I have used many different types of potatoes in this dish and they all work well but my favorites are any type of new potato with tender skins so that I don’t have to peel them.
- Try and cut the veggies roughly equal in size so that they cook evenly.
- Try topping with some Parmesan cheese.
- To get that deep caramelization, don’t flip the veggies during cooking, just shimmy the pan a bit to move them around.

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
