how to serve
My go-to way to eat this sausage, peppers and onions meal is on toasted rolls. You could do a hoagie roll or even a hot dog bun. We will often eat the baked sausage leftovers over pasta with some extra veggies.
Some may like this meal with rice. You could also slice up the sausages and put everything between two tortillas with mozzarella and make a type of quesadilla. The possibilities are endless!

How to make Sheet pan sausage and peppers
Step 1: Prep the ingredients
To begin, slice bell peppers into thin strips and cut the onion into half moon strips. Then, whisk together the tomato paste, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil in a small bowl.
Step 2: Prepare the sausages
Next, preheat your oven and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Heat a frying pan over medium heat, lightly grease the pan, and sear the sausage links on each side. Don’t skip this step! The oven baked Italian sausages will taste much better if they are first browned on the stovetop.
Step 3: Mix everything together
Then, toss the seared sausage, bell peppers, onions, herbs and spices together in a mixing bowl. Pour the tomato paste, balsamic, oil mixture into the bowl and toss again.
Step 4: Bake
Place the ingredients on a baking sheet and arrange so the sausages lay flat on the sheet.
Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. See post above for ideas on how to serve!
Storage and reheating
Once cooled, this meal will store in an airtight container for up to 4 days. To reheat, simply pour everything onto a parchment lined sheet and heat at 350 degrees for about 15-20 minutes, or until baked sausage is warmed through.

Definitely an easy meal with little prep and little clean up. I cooked mine too long maybe as it was missing some sauciness but that was easy to fix. Great flavor and customizable.
