Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss 1 sliced red bell pepper and 1 sliced yellow bell pepper with 1 tbsp olive oil, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 3: Remove sausages from skillet and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice sausages into 1/2-inch pieces, then toss with the roasted peppers on the baking sheet to combine flavors.
