Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Italian sausages (sweet or spicy, your choice)
- 3 large bell peppers (red, yellow, and green), sliced into strips
- 1 large red onion, sliced into wedges
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
- Hoagie rolls or cooked quinoa for serving
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grab a large rimmed baking sheet and line it with parchment paper or aluminum foil for even easier cleanup. Wash your bell peppers and remove the seeds and stems, then slice them into half-inch strips. Peel the red onion and cut it into thick wedges. Toss the peppers and onions directly on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Use your hands or a pair of tongs to toss everything until the vegetables are evenly coated in oil and spices.
- Push the vegetables slightly to the sides to make room for the sausages. Place the sausages evenly across the pan, nestled among the vegetables. Ensure nothing is too crowded; if the pan is overstuffed, the vegetables will steam rather than roast. Slide the baking sheet into the center rack of your oven. Roast for 25 to 30 minutes. Halfway through the cooking time, use tongs to flip the sausages and give the vegetables a quick toss. You are looking for the sausages to be browned and the peppers to have slightly charred, caramelized edges.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let it rest for two minutes. This allows the juices in the sausages to redistribute so they stay moist. If you want a classic “street fair” vibe, slice the sausages into coins or keep them whole and tuck them into toasted hoagie rolls. For a lighter option, serve a generous portion of the roasted peppers and onions over a bed of fluffy quinoa or brown rice. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for a pop of color and a hit of freshness.
