Print Recipe

A quick and fuss-free one-pan dinner featuring crispy sausage links roasted with sweet bell peppers and onions, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage links (sweet or spicy)
  • 3 medium bell peppers (mixed colors: red, yellow, green), sliced into strips
  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced into half-moons
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, a handful chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Slice the bell peppers into roughly ½-inch strips and the onion into half-moons about the same size. Mince the garlic finely.
  3. Place the sausage links in the center of a large rimmed baking sheet. Spread the sliced peppers and onions evenly around the sausages.
  4. Drizzle everything with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, then sprinkle with dried oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper.
  5. Toss the vegetables gently with tongs or your hands to coat them evenly in oil and seasoning, avoiding moving the sausages too much.
  6. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes. Halfway through (around 15 minutes), flip the sausage links and stir the vegetables to ensure even cooking.
  7. Check that the sausage has reached an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) and that the peppers and onions are tender with some charred edges.
  8. Remove from oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley. Let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For best crispiness, use room temperature sausage and pat dry if moist. Avoid crowding the pan to prevent steaming. If vegetables aren’t caramelizing enough, broil for 2-3 minutes watching carefully. Use a meat thermometer to ensure sausage reaches 160°F. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days; reheat gently to maintain crispiness.
