A simple, forgiving, and absolutely packed with flavor sheet pan sausage and peppers recipe that comes together in under 40 minutes with just five ingredients. Perfect for busy weeknights, this crowd-pleaser features par-boiled Italian sausage and caramelized bell peppers and onions roasted to perfection.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 links (about 1.5 lbs) Italian sausage (sweet or hot)
  • 3 large bell peppers (any color), cut into 1-inch strips
  • 1 large yellow onion, cut into 1-inch wedges
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add sausages and boil for exactly 5 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly. Slice each sausage in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 2-inch pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, combine sausage pieces, bell pepper strips, and onion wedges. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss with your hands until everything is evenly coated.
  4. Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan. Do not overcrowd.
  5. Roast for 15 minutes. Remove pan from oven, flip sausage pieces and stir vegetables with tongs. Return to oven and roast for another 10-15 minutes, until sausage is golden brown and peppers have charred spots.
  6. Let the pan rest for 3 minutes before serving. Spoon pan juices over the top.

Notes

Par-boiling the sausage for 5 minutes keeps it juicy while allowing the outside to get crispy. Cut vegetables into uniform 1-inch pieces for even cooking. Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure proper caramelization. Let the pan rest for 3 minutes after roasting to allow juices to redistribute. Leftovers keep in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and can be frozen for up to 3 months.
