# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Everything cooks in one pan, which means less scrubbing and more time sitting down to eat.
  • The cabbage soaks up all the smoky flavor from the sausages and turns sweet and soft in the oven.
  • It tastes even better the next day, so leftovers are actually something to look forward to.
02 -
  • Don't skip covering the pan with foil in the first part of baking or the vegetables will dry out before they soften.
  • Stirring halfway through ensures everything gets a chance to crisp up, not just the top layer.
03 -
  • Use a roasting pan with high sides so nothing spills when you stir halfway through baking.
  • If your sausages are particularly fatty, drain off some of the grease before the final uncovered bake to keep it from getting too oily.
