Ingredients
1 lb smoked beef sausage or chicken sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch coins
3 bell peppers (red, yellow, green), cored and sliced
1 large red onion, sliced into wedges
3 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Get your oven to 400F (200C) and prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a generous bowl, mix together your sliced sausage, bell pepper strips, and red onion wedges.
Pour in the olive oil and add the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Gently toss everything until it’s all beautifully coated, then spread it out evenly on your prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway, until the sausage is golden and the vegetables are tender with lovely caramelized bits.
Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and serve warm over your favorite rice, pasta, or enjoy it just as it is.
Notes
Try to slice your sausage, peppers, and onions to a relatively uniform size. This helps them cook evenly.
While not strictly essential for taste, parchment paper makes cleanup incredibly simple, which is a huge win for any sheet pan meal.
Ovens can vary, so keep an eye on your sausage and peppers during the last few minutes of baking. You want them tender and lightly browned, but not burnt.
Remember to turn or stir the ingredients halfway through baking. This ensures that all sides of the sausage and vegetables get nicely roasted and colored.
