# What You Need:

→ Sausage

01 - 4 Italian sausages (mild or hot, approximately 14 ounces 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

# How-To Steps:

01 - Set the oven to 425°F and prepare a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil to ensure easy cleanup.
02 - In a large bowl, combine bell peppers and onion with olive oil, dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, crushed red pepper flakes if desired, kosher salt, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly to coat evenly.
03 - Distribute the seasoned vegetables evenly over the baking sheet, nestling the Italian sausages among them.
04 - Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes. Halfway through cooking, turn the sausages and stir the vegetables to promote even browning. Ensure sausages 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. Optionally slice sausages, garnish with fresh parsley or basil, and serve warm. Ideal accompaniment includes crusty bread or rice.
