Notes
- Don’t slice them too thin: Otherwise, they won’t hold together. ¾-inch is as thin as we’d go, but 1—1 ½ inches work best (cooking time will increase the thicker they are).
- Slice evenly: They need to be the same thickness to cook evenly.
- Don’t overcrowd them: Cook them in a single layer with space between to allow airflow. This will yield the crispiest, most caramelized results.
