A quick and easy sheet pan recipe featuring crispy roasted sausage links and tender, caramelized bell peppers and onions. Perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage links (mild or spicy)
  • 3 medium bell peppers (mixed colors: red, yellow, green), sliced into 1/2-inch strips
  • 1 large red onion, sliced into strips
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: pinch of crushed red pepper flakes
  • Fresh parsley, a handful chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Wash and slice the bell peppers into 1/2-inch wide strips. Peel and slice the red onion into similar-sized strips.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced peppers and onions with olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Spread the vegetables out in a single layer.
  5. Place the sausage links on top of the vegetables, spacing them out to allow air circulation.
  6. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes. Halfway through (around 10 minutes), use tongs to turn the sausage links and gently stir the vegetables for even cooking.
  7. Check the sausage for doneness after 20 minutes; it should be browned and cooked through with an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). If needed, roast for an additional 5-7 minutes to achieve desired crispiness and vegetable color.
  8. Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over everything.
  9. Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving to allow flavors to settle and juices to redistribute.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure crispiness. Use high oven temperature (425°F) for caramelized edges. Turn sausage halfway through cooking. Let rest before serving. For gluten-free, verify sausage ingredients. For vegetarian, substitute sausage with plant-based links or seasoned tofu.
