Health Benefits

This dish is a good source of protein from the sausage, which helps you feel full and supports muscle health. Bell peppers are loaded with vitamins, especially Vitamin C, which is great for your immune system. Onions add flavor and contain antioxidants. When you cook everything together in one pan, you often need less added oil, making it a healthier choice.

Ingredients Needed

* 1 pound Italian sausage (sweet or hot, your choice)
* 2 large bell peppers (any color, sliced)
* 1 large onion (sliced)
* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
* Salt and pepper to taste

Step By Step Making

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. If using links of sausage, you can slice them into rounds or leave them whole. If using bulk sausage, you can break it up into bite-sized pieces in the pan.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet or on a baking sheet. Add the sausage and cook until it’s browned on all sides. If using links, remove them from the pan and set aside. If using bulk sausage, just push it to one side.
  4. Add the sliced bell peppers and onions to the skillet. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  5. If you removed sausage links, place them back into the pan with the vegetables.
  6. Place the entire skillet or baking sheet into the preheated oven.
  7. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, and the sausage is fully cooked through. Stir halfway through cooking for even browning.
  8. Serve hot. This dish is great on its own, or you can serve it over rice, pasta, or in a bun. For a side that complements this perfectly, consider making some Sourdough No-Knead Garlic Bread.
