A flavorful mix of Italian sausages and bell peppers roasted to perfection for a simple meal.

# What You Need:

→ Meats

01 - 4 Italian sausages (pork, chicken, or turkey; about 14 oz total)

→ Vegetables

02 - 2 red bell peppers, sliced
03 - 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
04 - 1 green bell pepper, sliced
05 - 1 large red onion, sliced
06 - 2 cloves garlic, minced

07 - 2 tbsp olive oil
08 - 1 tsp dried oregano
09 - 1/2 tsp dried basil
10 - 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
11 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

→ Optional

12 - 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
13 - Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
02 - In a large bowl, combine the sliced bell peppers, onion, and garlic. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with oregano, basil, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until vegetables are evenly coated.
03 - Spread the vegetables evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Place the sausages on top of the vegetables.
04 - Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning the sausages halfway through, until sausages are cooked through and vegetables are tender with caramelized edges.
05 - Drizzle with balsamic vinegar and toss everything together for extra flavor, if desired. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Everything cooks on one pan which means almost zero cleanup and more time to relax
  • The roasted vegetables develop this incredible sweetness that perfectly balances the savory sausages
  • You can easily adjust the spice level and vegetables to please everyone at your table
02 -
  • Crowding the pan too much will steam the vegetables instead of roasting them so use a large enough baking sheet
  • Turning the sausages halfway through ensures even browning and prevents the bottoms from getting too dark
  • Letting everything rest for a few minutes after roasting helps the flavors meld together
03 -
  • Cutting the peppers and onions into similar sized pieces ensures everything roasts evenly
  • If your sausages are especially thick you may need an extra 5 to 10 minutes of cooking time
