Kitchen Guide
- → Can I substitute tofu for sausages?
Yes, extra-firm tofu works well as a plant-based swap. Slice it similarly and follow the same roasting steps.
- → What vegetables can I use instead?
Seasonal vegetables like broccoli, sweet potatoes, or mushrooms can replace or supplement the original mix.
- → How do I ensure even roasting?
Arrange all ingredients in a single layer on the sheet pan and stir halfway through cooking for consistent browning.
- → Is this dish gluten-free?
Using gluten-free sausages or tofu keeps this dish gluten-free. Always check product labels to confirm.
- → Can I add extra flavor before serving?
Sprinkle chili flakes or drizzle balsamic glaze just before serving for an added depth and a hint of spice.
