A little orange or yellow is totally fine, but skip any with cracks or shiny skin.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Don&#8217;t peel it. <\/strong>The peel softens in the oven and adds a nice texture to the dish. Not to mention, cuts down on prep!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use parchment paper<\/strong>. The maple syrup caramelizes beautifully, but it is also sticky! Parchment makes cleanup a breeze.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Avoid crowding the pan<\/strong>. Too many slices piled up will steam instead of roast, which prevents caramelization. If needed, use two pans. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"block-tip cwp-inner\">\n<p class=\"block-tip__subtitle has-primary-background-color has-background\">5-Star Reader Review<\/p>\n<p>Just made this and it was FANTASTIC!
