Print Recipe

An easy, flavorful one-pan meal featuring roasted Italian sausage, bell peppers, and onions. Perfect for busy weeknights with minimal cleanup and maximum taste.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds Italian sausage (sweet or spicy)
  • 3 large bell peppers (mixed colors: red, yellow, green), sliced into ½ inch strips
  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced into ½ inch strips
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Slice the sausages into 1-inch chunks or leave whole if preferred. Cut the bell peppers and onion into ½ inch thick strips. Mince the garlic.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the sausage, bell peppers, onion, and garlic with olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Spread the mixture out in a single layer on a parchment-lined or foil-lined large rimmed baking sheet (18×13 inches).
  5. Roast in the oven for 20 minutes until edges start to brown and sausage begins to crisp.
  6. Flip the sausage pieces and gently toss the veggies to ensure even cooking.
  7. Return to the oven and roast for another 12–15 minutes until sausage is cooked through and veggies are tender with browned edges.
  8. Remove from oven and let rest a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Do not crowd the pan to avoid steaming the veggies. Use fresh sausage for best flavor and juiciness. Flip sausage halfway through roasting for even caramelization. Save sausage drippings for extra flavor. Can substitute sausage with chorizo, chicken sausage, or vegetarian options like portobello mushrooms or seitan. Garlic can be omitted or replaced with garlic powder if desired.
