Ingredients
- Roast
- 1 ½ lb baby potatoes, halved, or quartered if large
- 3 tbsp olive oil, divided
Swaps for olive oil
Instead of olive oil
- Avocado oil or another neutral oil: The same amount. No olive flavor; avocado oil handles higher heat.
- Butter: The same amount. Richer and nutty when browned.
- A neutral oil + more seasoning: The same amount. Dressings lose the fruity, peppery note; a little extra lemon, garlic or mustard makes up for it.
- 1 tsp kosher salt, divided
Swaps for kosher salt
Instead of salt
- Table salt or fine sea salt: About half as much as Diamond Crystal kosher, about ¾ as much as Morton kosher. The same saltiness when measured this way.
- Salt by weight: 1 tsp is about 6 grams of table salt, 5 grams of Morton kosher, 3 grams of Diamond Crystal kosher. The most reliable way to swap, especially in baking and brines.
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Swaps for garlic powder
Instead of garlic
- Fresh garlic: 1 clove for each ⅛ tsp powder, minced fine. Sharper and stronger.
- Granulated garlic: About twice as much as the powder. The same flavor in coarser grains, which blend better into rubs.
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
Swaps for smoked paprika
Instead of paprika
- Sweet paprika + a pinch of chipotle or cumin: The same amount of paprika, plus a pinch. Some smokiness without the full smoked flavor; chipotle adds heat.
- Chipotle powder: About ¼ the amount. Smoky and much hotter.
- 14 oz fully cooked smoked sausage or kielbasa, sliced into 1/2-inch coins
- 1 medium head broccoli, cut into florets (about 4 cups)
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
- 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
Swaps for red onion
Instead of onion
- Another onion: The same amount. Yellow is the all-rounder; white is sharper and crisper; red is milder raw and adds color; sweet onions are mildest.
- Shallots: The same amount, chopped. Milder and sweeter, with a hint of garlic.
- Leeks: About 1½ times as much, white and light green parts. Milder and softer when cooked.
- Honey mustard
- 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
Swaps for Dijon mustard
Instead of mustard
- Another prepared mustard: The same amount. Yellow is milder and more vinegary; Dijon is sharper; whole-grain adds texture; spicy brown is in between.
- Dry mustard: 1 tsp dry mustard + 1 tsp water + 1 tsp white wine vinegar for each 1 tbsp. Sharper and less smooth.
- 1 tbsp honey
Swaps for honey
Instead of honey
- Maple syrup: The same amount. Thinner, with a maple flavor; a little less sweet.
- Agave syrup: A little less (about ¾ the amount). Sweeter and very neutral; thinner.
- Light corn syrup or golden syrup: The same amount. Less sweet and neutral (golden syrup tastes buttery).
Don't give honey, even baked into food, to babies under 1 year old.
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Swaps for olive oil
Instead of olive oil
- Avocado oil or another neutral oil: The same amount. No olive flavor; avocado oil handles higher heat.
- Butter: The same amount. Richer and nutty when browned.
- A neutral oil + more seasoning: The same amount. Dressings lose the fruity, peppery note; a little extra lemon, garlic or mustard makes up for it.
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
Swaps for apple cider vinegar
Instead of vinegar
- White wine vinegar or lemon juice: The same amount. Less fruity than apple cider vinegar.

Steps
- Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and425°Fa large sheet pan with parchment.
line (how to line a pan)
Line a pan Cover the bottom (and sometimes sides) of a pan with parchment or foil so food doesn't stick and lifts out easily. 1. For a sheet pan, tear parchment the size of the pan and lay it flat.2. For a round cake pan, trace the bottom on parchment, cut the circle out and press it in.3. For brownies and bars, leave two long sides hanging over to make handles (a "sling").4. A little grease under the paper holds it in place. Done when: The paper lies flat with no folds where the batter could run under it. How to line a baking pan with parchment: mistakes to avoid - Toss the potatoes on the pan with 1 1/2 tablespoons oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, the pepper, garlic powder and paprika. Turn them cut side down.
- 425°F⏱ Roast potatoes: 15 minthe potatoes alone so they get a head start.
Roast (how to roast)
Roast Cook food uncovered in a hot oven so the outside browns while the inside cooks through. 1. Heat the oven fully before the food goes in, usually 400 to 450°F for vegetables.2. Toss vegetables with oil and salt; dry and season meat.3. Spread everything out on a sheet pan or in a roasting pan with room around each piece.4. Roast, turning vegetables once halfway, until browned at the edges.5. For meat, check the center with a thermometer. Done when: Vegetables are browned at the edges and tender in the middle; meat reaches its safe temperature. Safety: Use dry oven mitts (wet ones pass heat straight through) and tilt hot pans away from you to avoid the fat and steam.How to roast meat and vegetables: mistakes to avoid - Take out the pan and add the sausage, broccoli, bell pepper and onion. Drizzle with the remaining oil and salt and toss everything together, spreading it into one layer.
- Roast until the potatoes are tender and crisp, the broccoli is browned at the tips and the sausage is sizzling and hot all the way through (165°F / 74°C).425°F⏱ Roast all: 20 min
- the honey mustard ingredients and drizzle over the pan before serving.
Whisk (how to whisk)
Whisk Beat ingredients with a whisk to mix them smoothly or to add air. 1. Use a bowl big enough to whisk without splashing; set it on a damp towel to stop it spinning.2. Hold the whisk loosely and move it in quick circles or side to side, touching the bottom.3. For lumpy mixtures, add liquid a little at a time and whisk after each.4. For sauces on the stove, keep the whisk moving across the whole bottom of the pan. Done when: The mixture is even with no lumps or streaks of egg. How to whisk: mistakes to avoid

Tips
- Smoked sausage and kielbasa are already cooked, so they just need to get hot (165°F). If you use raw Italian sausage instead, roast it with the potatoes from the start and cook it to 160°F.
- Swap in whatever vegetables you have: Brussels sprouts, zucchini or green beans all work.
Storage
Refrigerate up to 4 days. Reheat on a sheet pan at 400°F (200°C) to re-crisp.
