Method
 

Prepare the baked potatoes
  1. Preheat oven to 425 F
  2. Begin by thoroughly washing the 4 large potatoes
  3. Using a fork, pierce the skin of the potatoes about 4 or 5 times to create small holes
  4. **don't skip this step! Poking holes in your potatoes allows the potatoes to release steam while baking, preventing potatoes from bursting during the cooking process

  5. Brush 1 tbsp of olive oil on the potatoes so that they are totally covered

Prepare the broccoli and bangers (vegan sausage)
  1. Chop the head of broccoli into smaller pieces
