Cooking Questions
- → Can I use other types of sausages?
Yes, chicken or turkey sausages work well for a lighter option and maintain great flavor with the spices and vegetables.
- → How do I ensure the potatoes cook evenly?
Halve baby potatoes and toss them in olive oil with seasonings. Stirring halfway through roasting helps them brown and soften uniformly.
- → What temperature should I roast the dish at?
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) to get a nice caramelization on the vegetables and sausages while cooking everything evenly.
- → Can I add other vegetables to this dish?
Absolutely, adding zucchini or cherry tomatoes during the last 15 minutes of roasting adds extra color and flavor.
- → What garnishes complement this meal?
Chopped fresh parsley and lemon wedges brighten the rich flavors without overpowering the savory and smoky notes.
