Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: Arrange 6 Italian sausage links evenly on the baking sheet. Surround with 1 large red bell pepper, 1 large yellow bell pepper, 1 large green bell pepper, and 1 large yellow onion, all sliced into 1/2-inch strips.
  3. Step 3: Drizzle 3 tbsp olive oil over the sausage and vegetables. Sprinkle 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper evenly on top. Toss the vegetables gently with your hands to coat everything well without disturbing the sausage.
  4. Step 4: Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the sausages and stirring the vegetables halfway through, until the sausages are cooked through and the peppers and onions are tender and caramelized on the edges.
  5. Step 5: Remove from oven and sprinkle 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley over the top. Serve hot with crusty bread or over polenta for a satisfying meal.
