Tips for Best Sheet Pan Sausage and Peppers
-
Use Italian sausage links with natural casing for best flavor.
-
Cut vegetables evenly so they roast at the same rate.
-
For extra caramelization, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end.
-
You can swap bell peppers with zucchini or mushrooms for variety.
I can also give a “one-pan Italian Sausage and Peppers with potatoes” version, which turns it into a full meal without extra sides.
