How to Make Sausage and Peppers in the Oven

This simple Italian recipe is the simplicity of a summer day, turned into a healthy, one-pan dinner of juicy morsels of Italian sausage pan roasted with strips of sweet bell peppers, savory onions, and Italian spices.

Whether you are partial to sweet Italian sausage recipes or hot Italian sausage recipes, this dish has you covered. You can use any type of precooked sausage you like. (Don't miss the other scrumptious Italian sausage recipes on my site.)

The Ingredients

Italian Sausage. Oven baked Italian sausage is delicious (and the easiest and best way to cook sausages in my opinion)! You can use either chicken or turkey Italian sausage for this recipe.
Bell Peppers + Onions. Bell peppers and onions taste spectacular with the Italian sausage. They become tender, sweet, and scrumptious once roasted.
Red Wine Vinegar. For a touch of acidity and tanginess.
Spices. A combination of salt, black pepper, dried basil, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes gives this dish Italian flair and addictive flavor.

The Directions

Chopped vegetables and sausage on a sheet pan

Arrange the sausage, peppers, and onions on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Toss with the olive oil, vinegar, and spices.

Leftover Ideas

Try this Italian sausage and peppers with rice, cauliflower rice, or inside a toasted hoagie bun with a slice of provolone cheese (bonus points for warming it in the oven to melt the cheese).

For sausage and peppers pasta, serve this dish with whole wheat noodles and tomato sauce.

I also like to sauté the leftovers with spinach, then top them with a fried egg for a tasty brunch (or brinner!).
