Roasting is a cooking method that not only enhances the flavors of the ingredients but also transforms their textures. In the case of our Sizzlin' Sausage & Peppers Medley, the roasting process is vital. As the sausage cooks, it releases its savory juices, which mingle with the vibrant colors and flavors of the peppers and onions. The high heat of the oven causes the edges of the vegetables to brown, creating a delightful contrast of textures.

Ingredients
  

1 lb Italian sausage (sweet or spicy, your choice)

1 large red bell pepper, sliced

1 large yellow bell pepper, sliced

1 large green bell pepper, sliced

1 large onion, sliced (red or yellow)

4 cloves garlic, minced

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Crusty bread or rice, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Prepare the Vegetables: In a large bowl, combine the sliced bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with oregano, basil, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Toss until well coated.

      Prepare the Sausage: In the same bowl, add the Italian sausage links (whole). Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over them. Toss gently to coat the sausage with the oil and herbs.

        Arrange on Sheet Pan: Spread the sausage and vegetable mixture evenly on a large sheet pan, ensuring everything is in a single layer for even roasting.

          Roasting Time: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the sausages are cooked through (internal temperature reaches 160°F/70°C) and the vegetables are tender and caramelized.

            Final Touches: Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. For added flavor, sprinkle fresh parsley over the top.

              Serve: Serve hot with crusty bread or over a bed of rice to soak up the delicious juices.
