Ingredients
  

1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy, your choice)

2 large bell peppers (preferably one red and one yellow), sliced

1 large onion, sliced

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for extra heat)

3 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Crusty Italian bread (for serving, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Sausages: If your sausage links are whole, slice them into 1-inch pieces. This helps them cook evenly and allows for more surface area to soak up flavors.

      Slice the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic.

        Season the Ingredients: Add the dried oregano, dried basil, red pepper flakes (if using), olive oil, salt, and pepper to the vegetables. Toss well until everything is evenly coated.

          Combine Ingredients on Sheet Pan: Spread the sliced sausages over the prepared sheet pan, then top them with the seasoned vegetables. Arrange them in a single layer for optimal roasting.

            Bake in the Oven: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Toss the mixture halfway through cooking to ensure even browning and caramelization.

              Check for Doneness: Once the sausages are browned and cooked through (the internal temperature should reach 160°F or 71°C), and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized, carefully remove the sheet pan from the oven.

                Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the baked sausage and peppers. Serve hot, alongside crusty Italian bread if desired, to soak up any delicious juices.
