This easy 5-ingredient sheet pan sausage and peppers is the kind of recipe that reminds you why cooking at home is worth it. It’s simple without being boring, satisfying without being heavy, and fast without sacrificing flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 links (about 1.5 lbs or 680g) Italian sausage (sweet or hot)
  • 3 large bell peppers (any colors), sliced into 1/2-inch strips
  • 1 large yellow onion, sliced into 1/2-inch half-moons
  • 3 tablespoons (45 ml) olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Give it a full 15 minutes to come to temperature.
  2. Prep the vegetables: Wash bell peppers, cut in half, remove seeds and white membranes, then slice into 1/2-inch strips. Peel the onion, cut in half through the root end, then slice into 1/2-inch half-moons.
  3. In a large bowl, combine sliced peppers, onion, olive oil, salt, pepper, and oregano. Toss to coat evenly.
  4. Spread the vegetables in an even layer on a sheet pan. Nestle the sausages into the vegetables, spacing them evenly.
  5. Roast for 20 minutes on the middle rack. Do not open the oven door.
  6. After 20 minutes, flip each sausage and stir the vegetables. If vegetables look dry, drizzle with a tiny bit more oil.
  7. Roast for another 10-15 minutes until sausages are browned and cooked through (160°F/71°C for pork) and peppers have charred edges.
  8. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Don’t crowd the pan—give ingredients room to breathe. Use a meat thermometer for perfectly cooked sausages. Cut vegetables uniformly for even cooking. For extra flavor, add a few whole garlic cloves to the pan. Leftovers keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and freeze well for up to 3 months.
