Helpful cooking tips

• Don’t overcrowd the pan! Leaving space between the ingredients ensures they roast rather than steam.
• If you like a crisper texture, you can broil the dish for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking—just keep a close eye to prevent burning.
• Feel free to add herbs like rosemary or thyme for an aromatic boost.

Creative twists

This recipe is excellent for adding your spin! Consider swapping the andouille sausage for chicken sausage, or try a vegetarian version using chickpeas and tempeh. Experiment with different vegetables such as bell peppers, carrots, or zucchini to suit your family’s palate and what’s in season.
