Sheet-Pan Roasted Sausages with Peppers & Onions

Servings 3 servings
Prep Time 45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 red bell pepper seeded and sliced into ¼-inch-wide strips
  • 1 yellow bell pepper seeded and sliced into ¼-inch-wide strips
  • 1 small onion peeled and sliced into ¼-inch-thick rounds
  • 1 ½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil plus more for sprinkling
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 pound sausages pricked with a fork
  • ½ teaspoon red wine vinegar plus more for sprinkling
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh oregano
  • Fresh arugula for serving (optional)
  • 2 ounces ricotta salata crumbled (about ⅓ cup)

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 400 F.

  2. In a bowl, toss the peppers and onion with the oil, salt and black pepper. Spread the vegetables out in a single layer on a rimmed sheet pan and roast until they are tender but not caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.

  3. Arrange the sausages on top of the peppers and onion; continue roasting until the peppers are caramelized and the sausages are cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. If the sausages and/or peppers are not browned enough at this point, you can slide the whole pan under the broiler for a minute or two. Watch it carefully so it doesn’t burn.

  4. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the vinegar and the oregano.

  5. Before serving, toss the peppers and onion with the vinegar mixture; taste and adjust the seasonings if necessary (it might need more vinegar if your onion is very sweet). If you are using the arugula, divide it among individual serving plates; sprinkle with a little olive oil and a few drops of red wine vinegar. Arrange the peppers, onions and sausages over the arugula. Sprinkle with the cheese and serve.
