# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Everything cooks on one sheet, which means one pan to wash and actual time to relax after dinner.
  • The smoked paprika and oregano create this warm, savory depth that makes simple roasted vegetables taste restaurant-quality.
  • It's naturally gluten-free and dairy-free, so you're not sacrificing flavor for dietary needs.
  • Packed with lean protein and vegetables, it's the kind of meal that feels indulgent but actually nourishes you.
02 -
  • Don't skip the halfway stir—the vegetables on the bottom can go from caramelized to burnt faster than you'd expect, and stirring ensures even cooking.
  • The sausage you choose matters more than you'd think; a heavily spiced sausage might overshadow your vegetables, so taste before you buy if possible.
03 -
  • Dry your vegetables thoroughly after washing them—any excess moisture will create steam instead of caramelization, and you'll lose that gorgeous golden crust.
  • Don't stir more than once; the more you move things around, the less chance they have to develop those caramelized edges that taste like pure comfort.
