A super tasty and classic combination! This Sausage and Peppers sheet pan dinner comes together in under 30 minutes, and is so adaptable. It's naturally gluten free and dairy free as well. Try it with different kinds of sausages, or add the optional tomatoes for a fun twist. It's great with simple side dishes like my Creamy Mashed Cauliflower, or with freshly cooked pasta.
Option 2: 1-2 cups favorite tomato basil or marinara pasta sauce warmed up to drizzle on top
Garnish: Chopped basil and freshly grated parmesan if desired
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450ºF.
Cut the onion in half and remove the tough outer layer. Lay each half flat side down and cut across the rounded top to create 1/4" thick half moon slices.
Place the peppers and onions on a large cookie sheet. Mix together the olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, sea salt, and pepper. Drizzle the oil mixture over the peppers and onions, and toss to combine.
Spread the peppers and onions out evenly, then top with the 4 sausages. If you're using the cherry tomatoes, add them evenly across the baking sheet at this point.
Bake for 10 minutes, then turn the oven up to broil at 550ºF for 5-10 minutes until the peppers and onions are browning and the sausages are done. Keep a close eye on it while it's broiling!
You can also bake this for 25-30 minutes, or until the sausages are done at 450º, but there won't be quite as much browning.
Garnish with basil and parmesan if desired and serve with your choice of sides. If you're using tomato sauce, be sure to warm it up to a simmer and drizzle over the top of the finished dinner, or serve it on the side.
