Recipe FAQs
- → Can I use fresh sausage instead of smoked?
Yes, fresh sausage works well. Just cook it until browned and fully cooked through, which may take a few extra minutes in the oven.
- → What other vegetables can I add?
Broccoli florets, cauliflower, eggplant, or sweet potato cubes all roast beautifully alongside the sausage and peppers.
- → Can I make this ahead?
You can chop all the vegetables and slice the sausage up to a day in advance. Store them in airtight containers in the refrigerator until ready to roast.
- → How do I store leftovers?
Store leftover sausage and vegetables in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave, though the texture will be best fresh.
- → What can I serve instead of naan?
Crusty bread, pita, or over cooked rice or quinoa all make excellent sides for soaking up the flavorful roasting juices.
