Recipe Q&A
- → What type of sausage works best?
Italian sausage provides rich flavor, but chicken or turkey sausages offer lighter alternatives without compromising taste.
- → How to ensure vegetables caramelize well?
Toss the vegetables evenly with olive oil and spices before roasting and avoid overcrowding the pan for proper caramelization.
- → Can I use other vegetables instead of Brussels sprouts?
Yes, broccoli or cauliflower make great substitutes and roast well alongside sweet potatoes and sausage.
- → How to tell when the sausage is fully cooked?
Sausage should reach an internal temperature of 74°C (165°F) and appear browned and cooked through with no pink inside.
- → Any tips for extra flavor?
Drizzling balsamic glaze before serving adds a pleasant tangy sweetness complementing the savory ingredients.
