This is a super simple sheet pan chicken sausage and peppers recipe that has easy clean up! That is one of the things I love about sheet pan dinners. Easy clean up! You KNOW I am not one to love to do the dishes.
This is also a great recipe to take to take to someone who is going through a trying time. October is breast cancer awareness month and I would encourage you to make a meal and take it to a lady and her family who are going through the struggles of a breast cancer diagnosis. Especially if she is not newly diagnosed. Why do I say ‘not newly diagnosed’? Because often there is a flurry of support, love, well wishes and meals dropped when there is a NEW diagnosis. This is GREAT and much appreciated but often the fight is a long fight. And the fight does not always get easier the longer it goes on. 3, 6, 12 months into a diagnosis and recovery these women still would appreciate a meal brought to them. Check out how al fresco all natural is bringing comfort and support to those fighting breast cancer.
sheet pan chicken sausage and peppers Ingredients
- 1 package al fresco all natural chicken sausage*
- 1 large onion
- 3 bell peppers
- olive oil
- Italian Seasoning
- Foil
*Sweet Italian style featured here but there are 10 all natural fully cooked dinner sausages to choose from.
Pro tip:
Slice the al fresco all natural chicken sausage on the bias. You will get a larger surface area, giving you more caramelization of the chicken sausage as it cooks on the sheet pan.
More on al fresco
al fresco all natural offers more than 30 flavorful and healthy chicken products ranging from dinner and breakfast sausage to meatballs, chicken burgers and chicken bacon. All of al fresco products have at least 50% less fat than traditional pork and beef products, are 100% all natural and delicious. There are no artificial ingredients, no preservatives, no nitrates or nitrites, and are MSG/gluten-free.
Pepper and Onions
Slice the onions and peppers in large slices. Don’t go thin on your slice! They will shrivel to nothing. You want something to sink your teeth into.
Sheet Pan
Line 2 sheet pans or cookie sheets with foil.
I suggest 2 pans so that the pan is not over crowded with chicken sausage and peppers. Over crowding the pan will have the peppers and onions steam instead of sear. We want a sear to give everything on the sheet pan a lovely caramel color.
Bonus pro tip:
Preheat the pans in the oven as the oven is preheating to 400 degrees.
Drizzle olive oil over the heated pans.
Evenly spread the peppers, onions and chicken sausage over the heated foil covered pans. Be sure the cut side of the al fresco all natural sausage is in full contact with the pan.
Drizzle with olive oil again and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
Bake for 20 minutes.
My oven is not wide enough for both pans to be side by side on the same shelf with good heat circulation.
So to avoid poor circulation and over heating the bottom of the pans, place the sheet pans 1 shelf apart with one close to the left side of the oven and one closer to the right side of the oven.
After 20 minutes, rotate the pans and stir the peppers, onions and sausage.
Bake an additional 10 minutes.
Serve in your favorite hoagie roll or over a bed of cauliflower rice for a gluten free option.
