Recipe for Sheet Pan Italian Sausage, Peppers, and Onions
Ingredients:
- 1½ pounds TBS Italian sausage (hot or sweet)
- 3 bell peppers (any color), sliced
- 1 large red onion, sliced
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: fresh parsley or basil for garnish, crushed red pepper flakes for heat
Directions:
1. Preheat and Prep
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
2. Toss the Veggies
In a large bowl, toss the sliced peppers and onions with olive oil, oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on the prepared sheet pan.
3. Add the Sausage
Nestle the sausages among the veggies on the sheet pan. If you’re using uncooked sausage links, prick them a few times with a fork so they don’t burst while roasting.
4. Roast
Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping the sausages halfway through. If you like a bit of char, broil for the last 2–3 minutes.
5. Serve
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle with fresh herbs if desired and serve.
Tips & Variations
- For extra flavor: Add a splash of balsamic vinegar to the veggies before roasting.
- Go low-carb: Serve over cauliflower rice or with a side salad.
- Make it a meal: Add halved baby potatoes to the veggies for a more filling dish.
