A quick and easy sheet pan recipe featuring crispy Italian sausage links roasted with sweet bell peppers and onions, perfect for weeknight dinners or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage links (sweet or spicy)
  • 3 medium bell peppers (mixed colors: red, yellow, green), sliced into 1/2-inch strips
  • 1 large onion (yellow or white), sliced into thin wedges
  • 3 large garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Slice bell peppers into 1/2-inch strips and onion into thin wedges about 1/4 inch thick. Mince garlic cloves finely.
  3. In a mixing bowl, toss the peppers, onions, and garlic with olive oil, dried Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes until well coated.
  4. Arrange the sausage links and seasoned veggies on a large rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, spacing everything out to avoid crowding.
  5. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes.
  6. Remove the pan, turn the sausages over with tongs, and gently toss the veggies for even roasting.
  7. Return to the oven and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes until sausage is browned and crispy and peppers are tender with lightly charred edges.
  8. Check that the internal temperature of the sausage reaches 160°F (71°C).
  9. Remove from oven, sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the dish, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

If sausage browns too quickly before peppers are tender, tent pan loosely with foil halfway through cooking. Cut peppers and onions evenly for uniform roasting. Resting the dish after cooking helps juices redistribute. For gluten-free, verify sausage ingredients. For dairy-free, this recipe is already free of dairy. Leftovers reheat best in oven or skillet to maintain crispiness; avoid microwaving.
