💬 Q&A
Q: Can I use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes?
A: Yes! Sweet potatoes roast beautifully but may cook a little faster, so check them at around 30 minutes.
Q: Can I make it ahead?
A: You can chop and season everything the night before. Store in the fridge and roast when ready.
Q: What kind of sausage works best?
A: Italian, bratwurst, chorizo, or any fully cooked sausage works great. If using raw sausage, make sure it’s fully cooked by the end of roasting.
Q: How do I make it crispier?
A: Don’t overcrowd the pan — use two baking sheets if needed. Space helps everything brown nicely.
Q: Can I make it spicy?
A: Add red pepper flakes or use spicy sausage for a kick.
Q: How long does it last?
A: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3–4 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to keep it crisp.
