Ingredients

  • 5 Italian sausages the type of sausage is up to you - hot or mild, whichever you'd prefer.
  • 3 bell peppers red peppers, yellow and/or orange bell peppers, seeded and cut into large chunks
  • red onion trimmed and cut into quarters
  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning mix
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Seed the bell peppers and onions cut them into large chunks. Place into a large mixing bowl.
  • Drizzle with the olive oil, sprinkle with the Italian seasoning mix, salt and pepper. Toss together. Spread evenly on baking sheet.
  • Place sausages on the sheet pan with the vegetables. Roast until sausages are cooked and the vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Remove sausage, peppers, onions and rolls from the oven. Transfer the sausages to a cutting board and slice if desired.

Notes

If the sausages aren't as brown as you like, remove the peppers and onions for the sheet pan. Place the sweet Italian sausage under the broiler for just two minutes until they are browned to your liking. 
Variations - Add a sprinkle of mozzerella or parmesan cheese over the top at the end for cheesy goodness. Substitute your favorite vegetables, like green beans, asparagus, broccoli or cauliflower. Bring the heat with a pinch of red pepper flakes.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge. You can freeze in a freezer-safe container up to 3 months.
To reheat, just pop them in the oven at 350 degrees F until heated through.

    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.

    Do you poke holes in sausage before baking?

    No, there is no need to poke holes into the sausages before you bake them. In fact poking holes in the sausage lets the juices escape and will dry them out.

    What should the internal temperature of sausage be?

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

    Top Tip

    Place the sausage and vegetables in a single layer on your baking sheet so that they cook evenly.

        Serve it just as it is, on a hoagie roll as a sandwich, slice it and serve over pasta. You choose! Enjoy Colleen!
