Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 low-carb pita breads
- 4 italian sausage links
- 2 bell peppers, assorted colors
- 1 medium onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 10 fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 provolone cheese slices
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the onion and bell peppers until tender, about 7-8 minutes. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir occasionally to avoid burning.
While the vegetables are cooking, grill the Italian sausage links. Cook them for about 10-12 minutes, turning frequently until they are thoroughly cooked and have nice char marks.
Slice the sausages in half lengthwise once they're cooked.
Cut the low-carb pita breads in half to create pockets.
In each pita pocket, place one slice of provolone cheese, followed by some of the sautéed peppers and onions, two sausage halves, and top with fresh basil leaves.
If desired, return the assembled sandwiches to the grill for an additional 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese.
Serve the sandwiches warm, either alone or paired with a low-carb side dish.
