# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • One pan means cleanup is honest work, but you'll actually want to do it when the food tastes this good.
  • The smoked paprika does something magical—it makes everything taste like you've been cooking all afternoon.
  • Warm naan for dunking turns this from dinner into a small celebration.
02 -
  • Don't skip the halfway stir—the difference between golden and burnt is about four minutes and one moment of attention.
  • The smoked paprika needs to actually touch the heat, so make sure it's not just sitting on top of the sausage where it won't brown.
  • If your naan gets too dry, it stops being an asset and becomes something you're resigned to eating, so watch that last 5 minutes.
03 -
  • Buy your sausage sliced from the deli counter if they'll do it—it saves your knife hand and ensures even thickness.
  • If your sheet pan is crowded, use two pans instead of stacking things; roasting is about heat circulation, not efficiency.
