Oven Roasted Sausage and Peppers
Italian sausage, bell peppers, and onions roasted together on sheet pans until browned and caramelized.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 lb Italian sausage sweet or spicy, or a mix of both
- 2 medium red bell peppers sliced into strips
- 2 medium yellow bell peppers sliced into strips
- 2 medium yellow onions sliced
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
Cooking
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and place racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven.
- Cut the bell peppers into strips about 1/4 inch wide and slice the onions a little wider than the peppers.
- Toss the peppers and onions with the olive oil, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper until coated.
- Spread the vegetables across two sheet pans in an even layer.
- Place the sausage directly on the pans, tucked in among the vegetables.
- Roast for about 20 minutes, then flip the sausages and stir the vegetables.
- Roast for another 10 to 15 minutes, until the sausage reads 160 degrees F and the vegetables are caramelized. Rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Serve right out of the oven or as a filling for sandwiches and wraps. A mix of sweet and spicy sausage gives balanced flavor. Raw pork sausage should reach 160 degrees F. Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat within 3 to 4 days.
