Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F. On a large sheet pan, combine 1 lb sliced smoked sausage, 1 large sliced red bell pepper, 1 large sliced yellow bell pepper, and 1 large sliced green bell pepper.
Step 2: Drizzle 2 tbsp olive oil over the sausage and peppers, then sprinkle 2 tbsp Cajun seasoning, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper evenly. Toss everything together with your hands until well coated.
Step 3: Spread the mixture out in an even layer on the sheet pan. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sausages are browned and the peppers are tender and slightly caramelized.
Step 4: Remove from oven and sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley over the top before serving warm.
