Showcase a bounty of vegetables with this easy sheet pan succotash. Succotash derives from the Native American word msiquatash. In this non-traditional recipe, we start by cooking smoky thick-cut bacon on a sheet pan, then add lima beans, garlic and onion. Covering the sheet pan lets the lima beans steam in the rendered bacon fat and allows them to soften and get infused with flavor without needing to boil them first. Fragrant fresh basil and a touch of sherry vinegar brighten it all up.

Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a plate with paper towels.
Arrange the bacon on a sheet pan and bake until deep golden and crispy, about 15 minutes. Transfer the bacon to the paper towel-lined plate, leaving the bacon fat on the sheet pan. Immediately add the lima beans, garlic and onion and toss to coat with the bacon fat. Season with a pinch of salt, cover the sheet pan tightly with foil and bake until the onion is translucent with golden edges and the lima beans have softened, about 20 minutes.
Uncover, add the corn and green beans and season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few good grinds of pepper. Return to the oven and bake for 10 minutes, then add the tomatoes and cook until they just begin to deflate, about 5 minutes.
Crumble the bacon and stir it into the vegetables, then transfer the mixture to a serving bowl. Add the basil and sherry vinegar and toss to combine. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed.
