Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, toss 3 medium carrots, 2 medium parsnips, 1 large red onion, and 12 halved baby potatoes with 3 tbsp olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1½ tsp salt, 1 tsp black pepper, and 1 tsp smoked paprika until evenly coated.
2. Step 2: Spread the vegetables in a single layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Nestle 4 Italian sausage links among the vegetables.
3. Step 3: Roast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, turning the vegetables and sausages halfway through, until sausages are browned and cooked through and vegetables are tender with caramelized edges.
4. Step 4: Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving, allowing flavors to meld and sausages to firm up.
