# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine all chopped vegetables, sausages, olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Toss until everything is evenly coated.
03 - Spread the sausage and vegetable mixture evenly across the prepared sheet pan in a single layer.
04 - Roast in the oven for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking, until vegetables are tender and beginning to caramelize and sausages are browned.
05 - While the sheet pan roasts, combine melted butter with minced garlic in a small bowl.
06 - Brush the garlic butter mixture over both sides of each naan bread. Wrap in aluminum foil and place in the oven during the final 5 minutes of roasting time.
07 - Remove the sheet pan and foil-wrapped naan from the oven. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the roasted vegetables and sausage. Serve immediately with warm garlic naan for dunking.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Everything cooks on one pan, which means minimal cleanup and maximum time to actually enjoy your meal.
  • The vegetables caramelize while the sausage gets crispy, creating layers of flavor that taste way more complicated than they actually are.
  • Warm naan turns this from dinner into an experience where you're actively using your hands and tearing bread like you're supposed to.
02 -
  • Stir the vegetables halfway through roasting or the bottom ones will burn while the top ones stay pale, and that uneven texture will bother you more than it should.
  • Don't skip the parchment paper because roasted vegetable residue turns into concrete without it, and you'll be scrubbing the pan instead of enjoying your evening.
03 -
  • Cut everything while your oven preheats so you're actually ready to cook instead of frantically chopping while everything waits.
  • Don't wash the bowl you mixed everything in right away because you can use it again if you're doubling the recipe, and future you will appreciate that laziness.
