Description
A quick and easy one-pan dinner featuring juicy sausage, sweet bell peppers, and caramelized onions, perfect for busy nights.
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Italian sausage (sweet or hot) (Choose sweet or hot based on preference.)
- 3 large Bell peppers (Mix colors if possible.)
- 1 large Yellow onion (Or use 2 small onions.)
- 1.5 to 2 tablespoons Olive oil (For drizzling.)
- 2 to 3 cloves Garlic, minced (Optional but highly recommended.)
- 1 to 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning (For flavoring.)
- Salt and black pepper (To taste.)
Optional Extras
- Crushed red pepper flakes (For heat.)
- Balsamic vinegar (A splash at the end enhances flavor.)
- Cherry tomatoes (For a saucy feel.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and line a sheet pan with foil or parchment for easier cleanup.
- Slice the peppers into strips and the onion into thick strips, avoiding paper-thin cuts.
- In the prepared pan, add the peppers and onion. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and minced garlic if using. Toss to coat.
- Nestle the sausages among the veggies. If using linked sausages, keep them whole for juiciness.
Cooking
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping the sausages and stirring the veggies halfway through to ensure even roasting.
- For extra browning, broil for 1 to 3 minutes at the end, staying vigilant to prevent burning.
Notes
This dish pairs well with toasted hoagie rolls, rice, or pasta. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat in a skillet or the oven for best texture.
