Prepare and Roast Vegetables
Start by heating your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a big bowl, toss together the sweet potatoes, white potatoes, sausage, carrots, parsnips, turnips, onion, and garlic. Sprinkle in the sage, parsley, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper, then give everything a good mix so the flavors are well combined. Spread the veggies and sausage out in a large roasting pan, then lay the bacon strips over the top. Pop it in the oven and roast until the potatoes are tender when you poke them with a fork, which should take about an hour. Once it’s done, let it cool just a bit before serving.

Serving Suggestions
Serve alongside a simple green salad or steamed rice to keep the meal balanced. A dollop of tangy mustard or a drizzle of balsamic glaze can add an extra layer of flavor. Leftovers also work great wrapped in a warm tortilla for lunch.
Storage Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to keep the sausage juicy and the veggies tender. Avoid storing with sauces to prevent sogginess.
