Chef-style Tips & Variations
For perfectly roasted potatoes, ensure they are in a single layer on the baking sheet to allow for even browning and crispiness. Don't overcrowd the pan! If you don't have a grill, the steak can be cooked in a cast-iron skillet on the stovetop for a beautiful sear, then finished in the oven. For a flavor twist, try adding a pinch of smoked paprika to your potato seasoning or a squeeze of fresh lime juice to the corn after grilling. Leftover steak is fantastic sliced thinly for sandwiches or salads the next day. This meal is best enjoyed fresh, but roasted potatoes can be reheated in an oven or air fryer to regain crispness. What's your favorite way to enjoy steak night?

Chef-style Tips & Variations
For extra flavor, you can add a few lemon slices to the baking sheet with the chicken while it roasts. This infuses more lemon flavor and keeps the chicken moist. Don't overcrowd your baking sheet, as this can steam the chicken instead of roasting it, preventing crispy skin. If you don't have fresh garlic, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder can be used as a substitute. Leftovers are perfect for meal prep; store chicken and zucchini separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat chicken in the oven or air fryer for best results to maintain crispiness. What are your favorite quick and healthy side dishes?
