# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil.
02 - In a large bowl, combine sliced sausage, bell peppers, red onion, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes.
03 - Drizzle olive oil over the mixture, then sprinkle with smoked paprika, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
04 - Spread the seasoned mixture in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan.
05 - Roast for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until vegetables are tender and edges are slightly charred.
06 - If desired, brush naan with melted butter mixed with minced garlic. Wrap in foil and warm in the oven during the last 5 minutes of roasting.
07 - Transfer roasted sausage and vegetables to a serving platter. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve with warm garlic naan and lemon wedges.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • Everything cooks on one pan, so cleanup is as easy as crumpling parchment paper and tossing it.
  • The smoked paprika transforms ordinary veggies into something that tastes like you spent hours grilling outdoors.
  • Warm naan works like edible silverware, perfect for scooping up every last bit of flavor.
  • It looks impressive enough for guests but requires almost zero actual skill or fuss.
02 -
  • Don't crowd the pan or the veggies will steam and turn soggy instead of getting those beautiful caramelized edges.
  • Stir halfway through roasting so everything cooks evenly and you get charred bits on all sides, not just one.
  • If your sausage is pre cooked, it won't dry out, but if you're using raw sausage, make sure it reaches a safe internal temperature.
03 -
  • Use a large enough sheet pan so everything has room to breathe, otherwise you'll end up with steamed veggies instead of roasted ones.
  • Let the veggies sit in the oven an extra 2 to 3 minutes if you love deep char marks, just keep an eye on them so nothing burns.
  • Toss the sausage in at the same time as the veggies, it'll release its fat and flavor everything else as it roasts.
  • If your naan is store bought and a little dry, a quick brush of butter and a few seconds in a hot pan will bring it back to life.
