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!

Ingredients

• Italian sausages (sweet or hot)
• Bell peppers
• Yellow onion
• Tomato paste
• Balsamic vinegar
• Olive oil
• Salt
• Black pepper
• Dried oregano
• Garlic powder

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.
