Spice Tips
For a lighter finish, add extra lemon zest or a splash of white wine vinegar at the end. If you want more heat, increase the red pepper flakes to 1/2 teaspoon or add a pinch of cayenne.
Make sure potatoes are cut to roughly the same size so they roast evenly. Sausage will finish cooking as the vegetables char.
