This colorful sheet pan sausage, peppers, and onions is super easy and only takes about 40 minutes from start to finish. You only require a handful of ingredients and cleanup is a breeze too. A healthy weeknight dinner the whole family would enjoy, I like to serve this in tortilla wraps with a side of salad, and some french fries. It is perfect with potatoes, rice, pasta, or any other grain of choice. That being said, if you are aiming for a low-carb option then this recipe can be served as it is. The key to making this dish is to use high-quality sausage. I like to use uncooked chicken or pork sausage for this recipe, but you can really use any kind of sausage that you like. Just make sure that it’s a good quality sausage so that it doesn’t dry out when you cook it.

You will need the following ingredients to make this super easy one-pan recipe: Sausage: the great thing about this recipe is that you can really use any kind of sausage that you like. I am using pork sausage today, that said, I have used chicken sausage and Italian sausage for this recipe in the past, but you could also use turkey sausage, beef sausage, or even veggie sausage. You can even use a mixture of different flavored sausages for variety. Bell peppers: I used a mix of red and green bell peppers for this recipe, but you could really use any color of bell pepper that you like or have at hand.

Olive oil: sub with any other flavorless cooking oil of choice Balsamic vinegar: this adds a lovely depth of flavor to the dish so I highly recommend using it, but you could leave it out if you don’t have any at hand. Herb de Provence: this is my go-to herb for sausage and peppers, but you could really use any dried herb that you like. Smoked paprika: this is optional, but I love the smoky flavor it adds to the dish. Salt and pepper: to taste
