Description
A flavorful and hearty dish featuring Italian chicken sausage baked with bell peppers and onions, perfect for a weeknight meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 packages Italian chicken sausage (8–10 links)
- 3 bell peppers (any color, sliced)
- 1 large yellow onion (sliced)
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: crushed red pepper flakes for heat
- Fresh parsley or fresh basil (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
- Place whole sausages on one side of the pan and bake for 15 minutes.
- While the sausage starts baking, toss sliced peppers and onions with olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic, salt, and pepper.
- After 15 minutes, remove the pan from the oven and scatter the veggies around the sausages, nestling them in so everything cooks together.
- Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, checking at 10 minutes to see if sausage is done and how peppers are, flipping the sausages halfway through, until the sausage is browned and cooked through (165°F) and the veggies are tender and caramelized.
- Let the sausages rest a few minutes, then slice them into rounds and toss them back in with the roasted peppers and onions.
- Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
Notes
- For added heat, sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes before serving.
