Let’s make it

  2. Arrange the meats, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, and beans in a roasting pan with 1/2 cup water and cover tightly with foil.
  3. Bake at 200 C/400 F until the meats are cooked through: chicken to 74 C/165 F and pork to 63 C/145 F, about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes.
  4. Uncover and roast 10 more minutes to brown slightly.
  5. Rest 10 minutes before serving.

Use only chicken and vegetables for a milder family tray.
