Sausages with Peppers and Onions
This vibrant and hearty sheet-pan dinner is inspired by the iconic street food found in American food trucks, where savory sausages are roasted with an abundance of sweet peppers and onions. As it bakes, the vegetables melt down and caramelize, releasing their natural sweetness into the rich juices rendered from the chicken and turkey sausages. Fresh garlic and herbs tie the dish together, making a delicious hands-off meal that fills your kitchen with an incredible BBQ aroma.

Useful advice
Cooking tip
To ensure the vegetables caramelize beautifully instead of steaming, spread them evenly in a single layer on the baking sheet.
How to serve
Traditionally served inside sliced baguettes like a rustic hot dog, or piled high on top of warm porridge, buckwheat, or mashed potatoes.
How to store
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheating in a skillet makes the onions and peppers even sweeter.
Note
Chicken and turkey sausages can be replaced with pork or beef sausages, though you might need to add 5 minutes to the total baking time.
