Sausage and Peppers
Description
Sausage and Peppers brings together pre-sliced sausage with a colorful mix of bell peppers and onions, all seasoned with garlic, Italian herbs, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Baking the sausage and vegetables on a parchment-lined sheet pan in a 400°F oven for about 20 to 25 minutes softens the peppers and onions while providing a gentle browning that enhances their sweetness and the sausage's flavor. Stirring halfway ensures even cooking and caramelization.
The result is a hearty, rustic dish that balances the savory richness of the sausage with the tender sweetness of roasted peppers and onions. It can be served immediately as a warm main or side dish.
This sausage and peppers dish is versatile for serving; it pairs well with simple starches like rice or pasta, especially with added marinara sauce. It can also be used for hoagie sandwiches by toasting buttered rolls and melting provolone cheese on top, creating a satisfying handheld meal. Additionally, it can serve as a flavorful salad topping or accompany eggs for breakfast.
