Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Slice peppers and onions evenly so they caramelize at the same rate as the sausage cooks.
Use a high oven temperature (400°F) and avoid stirring frequently; let the vegetables char lightly for deeper flavor.
Pierce sausages once or twice before baking to prevent bursting and ensure even cooking.
Drain excess fat halfway through baking if needed, then return to oven for crisper results.

Substitutions

Sweet bell peppers → poblano peppers or cubanelle peppers (milder, slightly less sweet)
Fresh parsley → fresh basil or fresh oregano (same amount, different herb profile)
Olive oil → vegetable oil or avocado oil (neutral flavor, same cooking properties)

Storage & make-ahead

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 10–15 minutes or on the stovetop over medium heat.
