A quick and easy sheet pan recipe featuring crispy Italian sausage and sweet roasted peppers, perfect for busy weeknights or meal prep.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Rinse and dry the bell peppers, then slice into 1/2-inch strips. Peel and thinly slice the yellow onion.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the peppers and onions with 2 tablespoons olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the pepper and onion mixture evenly on a large rimmed sheet pan, leaving space in the center for the sausages.
  5. Nestle the Italian sausage links in the center of the pan. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over the sausages and sprinkle minced garlic evenly over the veggies and sausages.
  6. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, turning the sausages and stirring the peppers halfway through cooking, until sausages are golden brown with crispy skin and peppers are caramelized.
  7. Optional: Broil for an additional 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  8. Remove from oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For thicker sausages, slice into 1-inch chunks to speed cooking and increase crispy edges. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure proper roasting and crispiness. Let the dish rest 5 minutes after roasting to redistribute juices. Optional broiling adds extra crispiness but watch carefully to prevent burning.
