Step 3: Season the Vegetables
- Drizzle the olive oil over the sliced peppers and onions.
- Sprinkle with oregano, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Toss well until everything is evenly coated.
Step 4: Arrange on a Baking Sheet
- Spread the seasoned peppers and onions across a large sheet pan or baking dish.
- Nestle the sausages in between the vegetables. They should touch the pan directly to brown properly.
- For juicier results, prick each sausage once with a fork to let the juices mingle with the veggies.
Step 5: Bake Until Golden and Bubbling
- Place the pan in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, flipping the sausages halfway through.
- If you like crispier edges, broil for the final 3–5 minutes while watching closely.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley.
- Serve as is, or over rice, mashed potatoes, or inside a warm toasted hoagie roll for the ultimate sausage sandwich.
Tips for Perfection
- Use a mix of sausage types (spicy and sweet) for flavor contrast.
- Add baby potatoes or sliced carrots if you want to make it more filling.
- Try a balsamic glaze drizzle before serving for a gourmet touch.
- Meal prep friendly: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
