Sheet pan meals are the BEST! I love that dinner is made on ONE pan, easy to make and easy to clean up! This recipe couldn’t be any simpler.

Toss everything on a large sheet pan and roast in the oven. The sausage gets a little crispy, but is still super juicy. The peppers and onions caramelize, making them super sweet and irresistible.

Yellow onion– sliced into strips.
Olive oil– for drizzling over the sausage and veggies.
Garlic– to add flavor.
Italian seasoning– we love using dried Italian seasoning because we always have it in our pantry.
Crushed red pepper flakes– for a little heat!
Herbs– you can garnish the dish with fresh basil or fresh Italian parsley.
