Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Italian sausage links (mild or spicy)
- 2 Red bell peppers
- 2 Yellow bell peppers
- 1 Large yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 4 Crusty sandwich rolls
- 4 Provolone cheese slices
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Place the red and yellow bell peppers on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the skins are charred and blistered.
Remove the peppers from the oven and transfer them to a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the peppers steam for 10 minutes to loosen the skins.
While the peppers are steaming, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage links and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sliced onion. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and caramelized.
Add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning to the skillet with the onions. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Peel the roasted peppers, remove the stems and seeds, and slice into strips. Add the pepper strips to the skillet with the onions and stir to combine.
Slice the partially cooked Italian sausage links into 1-inch pieces and return them to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the sausage is fully cooked and heated through.
Slice the sandwich rolls in half and lightly toast them under the broiler for 1-2 minutes.
Assemble the sandwiches by layering the sausage and pepper mixture onto the bottom half of each roll. Top with a slice of provolone cheese and place under the broiler for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted.
Place the top half of the roll on each sandwich and serve warm.
