Sheet Pan Sausage and Peppers

After a girlfriend raved about Ina Garten’s easy, comforting Sheet Pan Sausage and Peppers, I knew it was destined to be on our menu!

Bursting with flavor, this Sausage and Peppers Recipe is cooked in the oven instead of the stovetop, minimizing the mess that comes with classic skillet Italian Sausage and Peppers. Plus, roasting the vegetables concentrates their deliciousness.

Why You Must Make

• If your family loves sausage, they’ll be instant fans of this sausage and peppers recipe!
• Making a meal on a sheet pan is super easy. Plus, it’s a breeze to clean up.
• It can be served on a plate or made into sandwiches. Just pick up some buns and you’re set.

I was late to the sausage and peppers bandwagon, but once I made a batch and served it to my family on soft buns, we were all sold. This was not a typical dinner in my childhood home in Iowa, though I know my dad would have been on board as much as my family was!

How to Make

The method depends on whether you make a skillet version or a sheet pan version. My skillet version involves cooking sliced sausages first, then sauteing the peppers, garlic, and onions along with tomatoes and seasonings. These two are combined and served as desired. For a roasted version, here is the rundown:

1. Slice vegetables, toss with oil and seasonings and roast. Roast the sausages on a separate sheet pan.
2. Add the sausages plus tomatoes and onions to the vegetables. Add wine and continue roasting. Add basil and serve on buns with a slice of Provolone or with a slice or two of crusty bread.

This version of sausage peppers and onions comes from Ina Garten’s newest cookbook, Modern Comfort Food (affiliate link). Her novel method involves roasting the vegetables in a roasting pan at the same time as cooking the sausages on a sheet pan. Our grown sons showed up for dinner and everyone inhaled their dinner!

Ingredient Notes

• Kitchen Staples – Onions (yellow are sweeter), Garlic, Kosher Salt, Dried Oregano, Freshly Ground Black Pepper, Olive Oil
• Bell Peppers – Yellow, orange, red, or a combination (seeds and ribs removed), cut into strips
• Poblano Peppers – (Seeds and ribs removed), cut into ¼-inch strips
• Mild Italian Sausage Links – Use Spicy Italian Sausage if you like.
• Grape Tomatoes
• Dry White Wine – I keep a bottle of Vermouth in the refrigerator for cooking. Or use any white wine you enjoy drinking.
• Fresh Basil -To garnish. To cut into strips, or chiffonade your basil, roll a small stack of leaves like a cigar. Then cut it into thin slices.
• Grated Parmesan – Parmesano Reggiano, not the green can. Optional for sprinkling over your dish.
• Hot Dog Buns or Lobster Rolls – If you’d like to serve as a sausage and peppers sandwich.
