Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed half-sheet baking pan with parchment paper or foil for zero cleanup.

    Chef's Secret: High heat roasts the peppers until blistered and sweet.
  2. 2

    Place sliced bell peppers, red onion wedges, and sliced sausages directly onto the sheet pan.

    Chef's Secret: Spread ingredients in a single layer so they roast rather than steam.
  3. 3

    Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and crushed red pepper flakes over everything. Toss thoroughly with your hands to coat.

    Chef's Secret: Ensure sausages are mixed among the veggies so their savory juices baste the onions.
  4. 4

    Roast for 18-20 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until sausage is cooked through and edges of peppers and onions are nicely charred and caramelized.

    Chef's Secret: For extra char, turn the oven to broil for the final 2 minutes.
  5. 5

    Remove from oven, drizzle with rich balsamic glaze, and serve immediately in warm hoagie rolls or over cauliflower rice.

    Chef's Secret: The sweet balsamic glaze cuts through the rich sausage beautifully.
