Cut Veggies The Same Thickness

When preparing the vegetables try to cut all of the vegetables roughly the same thickness, this ensures that the vegetables all take roughly the same time to cook.

Using a mandolin is a great way to quickly cut vegetables such as sweet potato, zucchini, carrot, and onion so they’re all the same thickness.
