# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • One sheet pan means minimal cleanup, which feels like a miracle after a long day.
  • The veggies get jammy and sweet while the sausage develops this gorgeous caramelized crust.
  • It's flexible enough to work with whatever vegetables are lingering in your fridge.
02 -
  • Don't skip the halfway stir—I learned this the hard way when I assumed convection would handle it evenly and ended up with some vegetables crispy and others still raw.
  • The sausages should already be cooked, so you're really just warming them through and letting them pick up color; this means you can't overcook them into dryness.
03 -
  • Use fully cooked halal sausage because it saves you time and means you're just developing color, not actually cooking the meat through.
  • Toss everything while it's still warm from the oven if you're making it ahead; it helps the flavors continue melding as it cools.
