FAQ's

How long do sausages take to cook in the oven?

Sausages will take about 30 minutes to cook in the oven. However, this will vary depending on the size and thickness of the sausage.

Should I line my baking sheet with aluminum foil before cooking?

If you want an easy cleanup then you can line the baking sheet with foil. But, it's not required for this recipe.

Do you poke holes in sausage before baking?

No, there is no need to poke holes into the sausages before you bake them.

What should the internal temperature of sausage be?

Use an instant-read thermometer to make sure that your sausage reaches 165 degrees f.

Things to know

  • I like to use a variety of colored bell peppers for this recipe. However, you can all green peppers or any other color that you have on hand.
  • Make sure that you place the sausage and vegetables in a single layer on your baking sheet so that it cooks evenly.
  • You can sprinkle a little parmesan cheese on top of this recipe if you are a fan of cheese.
  • Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy clean up.

Variations

  • Instead of using pork sausage, you can also use chicken sausage or even turkey sausage.
  • In place of the fresh bell peppers and onions, you can use frozen peppers that have been thawed.
  • Are you a fan of spice? Use hot sausage and you can add some optional red pepper flakes on top of the vegetables for even more heat.
  • You can also add more recipes like green beans, broccoli, or even asparagus to this recipe.

Storage

Refrigerate - Leftover sausage and peppers should be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge.

Freezer - You can freeze these leftovers for up to 3 months. Be sure to store them in a freezer-safe container.

Reheat - To reheat, just pop them in the oven at 350 degrees F until heated through. You can also reheat them in the microwave. Though, the oven tastes best.
