Super Easy Oven Italian Sausage and Peppers will be a week night go-to!. Sausage and peppers in the oven yields such great results. This is mostly because you render all of the fat from the sausage and are left with tender sausage with a beautifully crispy outside.
How to Cook Super Easy Oven Italian Sausage and Peppers
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. I like to cook this on convection. Place your sausage, peppers, and onions on a sheet tray. Add potatoes or sweet potatoes too for a complete meal!
- Toss with olive oil, salt, pepper and then sprinkle over some Oregano
- Bake at 400 for 20-30 minutes or until the sausage is 160 degrees internally. I use an instant read meat thermometer.
That is it!
Can you prep ahead?
Yes, it’s very easy to prep this meal ahead. Simply cut up your peppers and onions and place them in a zip lock bag or container. This will get things ready to go, so that when it’s time to cook, it’s a dump and go situation! How easy is that?

You could also drizzle balsamic glaze or hot honey over everything to further enhance the flavor.
