A quick and easy sheet pan meal featuring crispy roasted sausage and blistered bell peppers, perfect for a comforting weeknight dinner with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage links (sweet or spicy)
  • 3 medium bell peppers (red, yellow, and green), sliced into ½ inch strips
  • 1 large onion (yellow or white), sliced into strips
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (oregano, basil, thyme blend)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • A handful of fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and core the bell peppers, then slice them into ½ inch strips. Peel and slice the onion into similar-sized strips.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced peppers and onions with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the pepper and onion mixture evenly on a rimmed baking sheet, leaving space between pieces.
  5. Slice the sausage links into 1-inch rounds and nestle them among the veggies on the pan.
  6. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the sausage pieces and minced garlic, then toss gently to combine.
  7. Place the sheet pan on the middle rack and roast for 25 to 30 minutes.
  8. Halfway through cooking (around 15 minutes), use tongs to flip the sausage pieces and stir the veggies for even crisping.
  9. Check for doneness: sausage should be browned and crispy on edges; peppers and onions tender with some charred spots. Roast an additional 5 minutes if extra crispness is desired.
  10. Remove from oven, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the dish, and serve immediately.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to avoid steaming and soggy results. Flip sausage and stir veggies halfway through roasting for even crispiness. Use fresh garlic to avoid burning. If using pre-cooked sausage, reduce roasting time to 15-20 minutes. Let pan cool slightly after roasting for better crispness. Garnish with fresh parsley for brightness.
