Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, mix 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp dried thyme, 1/2 tsp ground coriander, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper to create the sustainability herb blend.
  2. Step 2: Toss 1 sliced red bell pepper and 1 sliced yellow onion with 2 tbsp olive oil and half the herb blend until evenly coated.
  3. Step 3: Arrange 4 Italian sausage links on a rimmed baking sheet, surrounded by the pepper and onion mixture, and sprinkle the remaining herb blend over everything.
  4. Step 4: Roast for 25-30 minutes, turning the sausages halfway through, until the sausages are golden and cooked through and the vegetables are tender and caramelized.
  5. Step 5: Let rest 5 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
