Sheet Pan Sausage & Peppers
Sheet Pan Sausage & Peppers combines all the flavors of my favorite childhood stovetop Italian saute. Chop sausage (we use raw Italian chicken sausage), bell peppers, onions, and potato (thinly sliced) and spice it up with salt, pepper, garlic powder and a little crushed red pepper. Toss with oil, roast at high heat, and dinner is done! Looking for a vegetarian option? Swap out the sausage for chickpeas/garbanzo beans. It’s a great one-pan meal that can be scaled up for a crowd. Double the recipe if you have more than 4 people. It makes amazing leftovers. Sometimes we saute it up the next morning with some eggs and a big handful of spinach for a flavorful scramble. This is good-ole Italian comfort food in a bowl.
