Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

• 1 lb Italian sausage (mild, sweet, or spicy)
• 3 bell peppers (red, yellow, and green), sliced
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper

Optional Add-Ons:

• 4-5 whole garlic cloves (roasted for extra flavor)
• 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (for heat)
• 1 tsp balsamic vinegar (for depth of flavor)
• 4 hoagie rolls (for sandwiches)

How to Make It

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. This step is key to making sure your meal slides right off the pan when it’s time to serve.
2. Prep the veggies—cut the bell peppers and onion into strips. The thinner they are, the softer and sweeter they’ll get while roasting.
3. Season everything—on the sheet pan, toss the sliced peppers and onions with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Give everything a good mix so the seasoning is evenly distributed.
4. Add the sausage—you can either place the whole sausages on top of the veggies for a traditional presentation, or slice them into rounds for a crispier, more caramelized result. Either way, arrange them so everything has room to roast properly. For extra depth of flavor, add whole garlic cloves to the pan along with the sausage, letting them roast and soften as everything cooks!
5. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the sausages halfway through to ensure they brown evenly. The peppers should be soft, and the sausage should be cooked through and slightly golden.
6. Final touch! If you love a little extra crispiness, broil everything for the last 2-3 minutes. Keep an eye on it so nothing burns!
7. Serve & enjoy! You can eat this as is for a wholesome meal, or pile everything into a hoagie roll for a restaurant-worthy sandwich. For a final touch, drizzle with balsamic vinegar or sprinkle with extra red pepper flakes if you’re feeling fancy.

Tips & Tricks

✔ Use pre-cooked sausage for an even quicker meal—just reduce cook time by 5 minutes.
✔ Mix up the veggies—try adding mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, or zucchini for extra variety.

✔ Make it keto-friendly by serving over cauliflower rice or a simple salad.

Variations
