Sometimes, the simplest solution is the best. A greased pan does the trick for baking and roasting. Sure, it adds an extra step, but it’s chemical-free and reliable. Plus, a little butter or oil never hurt anyone!

Environmental Considerations
Here’s another thing to think about: waste. Most parchment paper is single-use, which means it ends up in the trash after one baking session. And if it’s coated, it’s probably not compostable.
Switching to reusable options like silicone mats isn’t just better for your health—it’s better for the environment too. It’s a small change that adds up over time.
