                                          • Combine oil, green peppers, corn, and half of onions. Reserve remaining onions for step 5. Toss to coat. Transfer to a sheet pan (18” x 26” x 1”).
                                            For 50 servings, use 2 pans.
                                            For 100 servings, use 4 pans.
                                          • Roast uncovered until lightly brown around edges:
                                            Conventional oven: 350 °F for 20 minutes.
                                            Convection oven: 350 °F for 12 minutes.
                                          • Place squash in perforated steam table pan (12” x 20” x 2½”) and steam for 15 minutes or until tender.

                                          Special tip for preparing dry beans:
                                          SOAKING BEANS
                                          OVERNIGHT METHOD: Add 1¾ qt cold water to every 1 lb of dry beans. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Discard the water. Proceed with recipe.
                                          QUICK-SOAK METHOD: Boil 1¾ qt of water for each 1 lb of dry beans. Add beans and boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to soak for 1 hour. Discard the water. Proceed with recipe.
                                          COOKING BEANS
                                          Once the beans have been soaked, add 1¾ qt water for every lb of dry beans. Boil gently with lid tilted until tender, about 2 hours. Use hot beans immediately.
                                          Critical Control Point: Hold for hot service at 135 °F or higher.
                                          OR
                                          Chill for later use.
                                          Critical Control Point: Cool to 70 °F within 2 hours and to 40 °F or lower within an additional 4 hours.
                                          1 lb dry black beans = about 2½ cups dry or 4½ cups cooked beans.
