Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss 1 large each of sliced red, yellow, and green bell peppers and 1 large sliced yellow onion with 3 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until evenly coated.
2. Step 2: Arrange 6 Italian sausage links evenly among the vegetables on the baking sheet.
