A quick and easy sheet-pan dinner featuring Italian sausage, bell peppers, and onions roasted to perfection in under 20 minutes. Perfect for busy weeknights with minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–6 links Italian sausage (sweet or hot), about 1 lb (450g)
  • 2 large bell peppers (any color), cut into ½-inch strips
  • 1 large yellow onion, cut into 8 wedges
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
  • 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place oven rack in middle position.
  2. Wash bell peppers, cut in half, remove seeds and membranes, then slice into ½-inch strips. Peel onion and cut into 8 wedges through root end.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine pepper strips and onion wedges. Drizzle with olive oil, add salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss to coat evenly.
  4. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Spread seasoned vegetables in a single layer, leaving space between pieces.
  5. Place sausage links on top of vegetables, spacing them evenly so they don’t touch.
  6. Roast for 10 minutes.
  7. Remove pan from oven. Flip each sausage link and stir vegetables. Sprinkle minced garlic over vegetables.
  8. Return pan to oven and roast for another 8-10 minutes, until sausages are browned and reach internal temperature of 160°F (71°C), and vegetables are tender with charred edges.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
  10. Serve immediately, whole or sliced.

Notes

Don’t overcrowd the pan to ensure proper browning. Add garlic halfway through to prevent burning. Let the pan rest after roasting for juicier sausage. For extra browning, broil for the last 1-2 minutes.
