Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 links Italian sausage (mild, hot, or sweet)
- 2 large Red bell pepper
- 2 large Green bell pepper
- 2 medium Yellow onion
- 4 Garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
Slice the red and green bell peppers into thin strips, and cut the yellow onions into wedges. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced peppers, onions, and minced garlic. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with dried oregano, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and optional crushed red pepper flakes. Toss until the vegetables are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Arrange the sausage links on top of the vegetables, ensuring they are spaced out to allow for even cooking.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, take the baking sheet out of the oven and use tongs to flip the sausages. Stir the vegetables slightly to prevent sticking and ensure even roasting.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue roasting for another 15-20 minutes, or until the sausages are fully cooked (internal temperature of 160°F or 71°C) and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Serve hot as is, or pair with crusty bread, rice, or pasta for a complete meal.
