Ina Garten’s sausage and peppers recipe: Indulge in the delightful fusion of sweet and hot Italian sausages, colorful peppers, and aromatic spices.

Ingredients

• 3 large yellow onions sliced

• 6 large different colored bell peppers (yellow and red) cut into 1/2-inch strips

• 3 large poblano peppers, cut into 1/4-inch strips

• 1 medium fennel, halved, core removed, and crosswise sliced into 1/4-inch pieces

• 2 cloves of garlic – minced

• 1 pound of Italian sausages

• 1 pound of spicy Italian sausages

• 1 can of chopped tomatoes

• 1/3 cup of dry white wine

• 1/2 cup of fresh basil leaves, sliced

• 1 teaspoon of dried oregano

• 1 teaspoon of salt

• 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper

• 2 tablespoons of olive oil + extra

• Shredded parmesan cheese to serve

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 400F.
• Combine the onions, peppers, fennel, garlic, oregano, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper, and a generous drizzle of olive oil. Ensure an even distribution of these ingredients. Spread them out in a single layer on two large sheet pans. Make sure not to overcrowd them in a smaller pan, as this can prevent the vegetables from browning properly.
• Separately, on a third sheet pan or baking dish, toss the sausages with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and arrange them in a single layer.
• Roast both the vegetables and sausages in the oven for 20 minutes. If you don’t have three sheet pans, you can use a roasting pan for one set of vegetables or sausages, or roast the vegetables first, followed by the sausages, before continuing with the recipe.
• After the initial roasting, combine the roasted vegetables in a large roasting pan. Place the sausages on top of the vegetable mixture.
• Add the can of chopped tomatoes to the pan. Pour in the white wine, and then roast for an additional 25 to 30 minutes, turning the sausages as needed to ensure even browning.
• Remove from the heat, sprinkle the sliced basil over the dish, toss everything well, and taste for seasonings. Serve the dish hot with freshly grated Parmesan cheese on the side.

Notes

• Pro tip: You can sprinkle parmesan cheese 5 minutes before you take the trays out of the oven, if you want the cheese nicely melted into your dish!

Ina’s One-Pan Roasted Sausages And Peppers Recipe Customizations

One of the best things about this recipe is how easily it can be customized.

Since the recipe is so easy, once you make it a couple of times, you won’t even need to read the recipe or follow the instructions.

I often just throw sausages and veggies in an oven tray together with some herbs and spices, toss with olive oil, and pop the tray in the oven until everything is cooked.

What I found doing that is how easily the recipe can be customized.

Here are some ideas:

• Make it a stuffing: sausage and peppers are a classic flavor combination. By using the sausage filling, you could turn this dish into a delicious stuffing, worthy of any Ina Garten stuffed peppers recipe.
• Choice of Sausage: Try different types of sausages such as pork, bratwurst, chorizo, or chicken sausage for a unique flavor twist.
• Choice of meat: This recipe works perfectly well with other types of meat so don’t worry if you don’t have sausages. Its actually relatively similar to another hearty family favorite, chicken cacciatore by Ina Garten.
• Onion Variations: Use different types of onions, such as red onions, sweet onions, or shallots, to alter the sweetness and flavor profile.
• Herb Infusion: Add herbs like rosemary, or thyme for a fragrant and herbal touch.
• Spices and Seasonings: Customize the flavor by adding spices like smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, or fennel seeds to the dish.
• Cheese Topping: Just before serving, sprinkle your favorite cheese, like Parmesan, feta, or goat cheese, over the dish and let it melt.
