A quick and easy sheet pan meal featuring Italian sausage, bell peppers, and onions roasted with Italian seasoning for a flavorful and comforting dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage (sweet or spicy), sliced into 1-inch rounds
  • 3 medium bell peppers (red, yellow, green), sliced into strips
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning blend (oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • A handful of fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Slice the Italian sausage into 1-inch rounds. Slice the bell peppers into strips and thinly slice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sausage, bell peppers, onions, and garlic. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the mixture in a single layer on a rimmed sheet pan, avoiding overcrowding.
  5. Bake for 20 minutes until the edges of the peppers start to turn golden and the sausage begins to brown.
  6. Using tongs or a spatula, toss the mixture to flip the sausage and redistribute the vegetables. Continue roasting for another 15-20 minutes until the sausage is cooked through (internal temperature ~160°F/71°C) and the peppers are tender with caramelized edges.
  7. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

If sausage browns too quickly but peppers are not tender, loosely cover the pan with foil for the last 10 minutes. Tossing halfway through cooking ensures even roasting. For a leaner option, use turkey sausage and watch cook time as it browns faster. This recipe is naturally dairy-free unless cheese is added as a topping.
