Ingredients

  • 1 (3.5 to 4-ounce) smoked sausage link
  • ¼ small onion --sliced (about 3 ounces)
  • 1 medium red bell pepper --seeded and sliced (could also use a yellow bell pepper or a combination of both)
  • ½ tablespoon olive oil
  • teaspoon kosher salt
  • teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees F. 
    Slice the sausage and place it on your choice of a quarter or half sheet pan.
  • Add the sliced onions and peppers to the pan.
  • Drizzle olive oil over the sausage, onions, and peppers, then season with salt and black pepper.
    Toss everything to mix, then spread it out in a single layer on the sheet.
  • Bake for 20 minutes.

Notes

  • Parchment Lining: To make your cleanup easy, line the sheet pan with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This ensures nothing sticks and you're left with practically zero mess.
  • Uniform Slicing: Consistency is key. Make sure to slice the sausage, peppers, and onions uniformly to ensure they all cook at the same rate.
  • Don't Overcrowd: Space out your ingredients on the sheet pan. When too close together, the items are more likely to steam than roast, affecting the texture and flavor.
  • High-Quality Sausage: Choose a high-quality sausage for the best flavor outcome. Organic or artisanal sausages often contain fewer additives and more meat, enhancing your dish's overall taste.
  • Check Oven Calibration: Ovens can run hot or cold, affecting cooking time. If you haven't calibrated your oven recently, consider doing so for the most accurate cooking time.
  • Taste Test for Seasoning: Once everything's cooked, do a quick taste test and adjust seasonings if necessary. A pinch more of salt or a dash of extra spices can make all the difference.
