Smoked Sausages, Bell Peppers, and Onions

Jani H. Leuschel
You'll love this Italian-inspo recipe for busy nights. All the ingredients bake together on a sheet pan, which means an easy clean-up! Serve these smoky, savory sausage and veggies on top of pasta (sauce optional). Or go gluten-free with rice or polenta!

Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • ½ large onion, halved and sliced
  • 2 sweet bell peppers, any color
  • 1 clove garlic, minced, optional, or use ½ teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil, smooth or extra virgin
  • 1 teaspoon Italian herb seasoning, salt-free
  • ¼ teaspoon salt, kosher, optional
  • 1 12-ounce package chicken sausages, fully cooked, smoked or use your favorite type of sausage: pork, turkey, or vegan

Instructions
 Start Cooking 

  • Wash hands thoroughly for 20 seconds before beginning to prep the dish.
  • Preheat oven to 400 F.
  • Cut onion in half and slice, creating arc-shaped pieces.
  • Core bell peppers and slice into strips.
  • Line a sheet pan with foil, parchment paper, or a silicone sheet.
  • Place cut vegetables and garlic on sheet pan. Drizzle the olive oil and sprinkle the Italian herb seasoning over all. Toss well and then arrange evenly on the sheet pan.
  • Cut the sausages into thick coins or chunks.
  • Add the sausage pieces to the veggies, wedging them in and distributing throughout the pan.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 25 minutes, until the vegetables are soft and some of the edges are golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and serve with rice, pasta, polenta, and/or crusty pieces of bread.

Notes

This will feed two adults and two small children. I recommend serving the sausage and veggies over polenta if you want to make this a heartier meal!
The sausages are high in sodium, so I usually omit the salt.
