Some recipes are loved not because they’re complicated, but because they’re effortlessly delicious. Oven-baked sausage and bell peppers is one of those dishes—rustic, colorful, and deeply satisfying. It’s a meal that fills your kitchen with warm, savory aromas and brings the comfort of home cooking to the table without requiring much work at all.

This dish has roots in Italian-American cuisine, where sausage and peppers are often served at festivals, family gatherings, or tucked into crusty rolls. Baking them in the oven enhances the flavors even more, allowing the vegetables to caramelize and the sausage to become perfectly browned and juicy.

Whether you serve it as a hearty dinner, a sandwich filling, or a meal-prep staple, oven-baked sausage and bell peppers is a recipe you’ll return to again and again.

Why This Dish Works So Well

🌈 Colorful Bell Peppers

Red, yellow, and orange peppers become sweet and tender as they roast, creating a natural sauce for the sausage.

🔥 Sausage That Browns Beautifully

Oven heat cooks sausage evenly, allowing the exterior to caramelize while the inside stays juicy.

🧅 Onions for Aroma and Sweetness

Onions soften and blend with the peppers to create a savory-sweet base.

🫒 Minimal Prep, Maximum Flavor

Everything goes onto one pan—no need to sauté or pre-cook.
