This easy one-pan sausage and peppers sheet pan dinner is proof that simple food can be genuinely amazing. It’s the recipe I turn to when I want something satisfying without spending hours in the kitchen.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds (680g) Italian sausage (sweet or hot)
  • 3 medium bell peppers (about 450g), sliced into 1/2-inch strips
  • 1 large yellow onion (about 200g), sliced into wedges
  • 3 tablespoons (45ml) olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt (or 3/4 teaspoon table salt)
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  2. Slice the bell peppers into 1/2-inch strips and the onion into similar-sized wedges. Separate the onion layers.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the sliced peppers, onions, olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the seasoned vegetables in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan. Nestle the sausages among the vegetables, spacing them out evenly.
  5. Roast for 20 minutes on the middle rack.
  6. Remove the pan from the oven. Flip the sausages and stir the vegetables using tongs or a spatula. If the vegetables look dry, drizzle a little more olive oil.
  7. Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 15-20 minutes, until the sausages are cooked through (internal temperature of 160°F/71°C) and the peppers are tender with charred edges.
  8. Let the pan rest for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Don’t overcrowd the pan to ensure proper roasting. Cut vegetables uniformly for even cooking. Use high heat (425°F) for caramelized edges. Flip sausages and vegetables halfway through. Check sausage doneness with an instant-read thermometer (160°F).
