Ingredients
  

1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy, your choice)

2 bell peppers (any color, sliced into strips)

1 large red onion (sliced into wedges)

4 cloves garlic (minced)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

Fresh basil leaves (for garnish)

Crusty bread (for serving, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the Vegetables: On a large sheet pan, spread out the sliced bell peppers, onion wedges, and minced garlic. Drizzle with the olive oil, and sprinkle the dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over the vegetables.

      Add the Sausages: Arrange the Italian sausages on top of the vegetables. Make sure they are evenly spaced so they can brown nicely.

        Toss and Coat: Use your hands to toss the vegetables around so they are well coated in the oil and spices. The sausages should also have a bit of the oil mix on them.

          Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes. Halfway through, give the vegetables a quick stir to ensure even cooking. The sausages should be cooked through and browned, and the vegetables tender.

            Serve: Once baked, remove the sheet pan from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve hot with crusty bread on the side to soak up the delicious juices if desired.

              Enjoy: Dig in and enjoy the savory flavors of this easy, one-pan meal!
