Roasting time for this dish will vary depending on if your pans are light or dark, how full the pan is and other factors. Stirring the mix every 10 minutes allows you to keep an eye on it. Remove from the oven when ingredients are golden, rather than paying as much attention to the time. Substitute honey for maple syrup, if desired.
