# What You Need:
→ Sausage
01 - 4 Italian sausages (mild or hot, approximately 14 oz total)
→ Vegetables
02 - 2 large bell peppers (any color), sliced into strips
03 - 1 large red onion, sliced into wedges
→ Seasonings
04 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
05 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
06 - 1 teaspoon dried basil
07 - ½ teaspoon garlic powder
08 - ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
09 - ½ teaspoon kosher salt
10 - ¼ teaspoon black pepper
→ Garnish (optional)
11 - Fresh chopped parsley
12 - Fresh basil leaves
# Steps:
01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, combine sliced bell peppers and red onion with olive oil, dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, crushed red pepper flakes if using, kosher salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
03 - Spread the seasoned vegetables evenly over the prepared baking sheet. Nestle the Italian sausages among the vegetables.
04 - Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, turning the sausages and stirring the vegetables halfway through, until sausages are browned and reach an internal temperature of 160°F, and vegetables are tender and caramelized.
05 - Remove from oven and let rest for 2 to 3 minutes. Slice sausages if desired, garnish with fresh parsley or basil, and serve hot alone or with crusty bread or rice.
