What You Need for this Sheet Pan Sausage and Peppers Recipe

The title of this recipe is a dead giveaway. You are going to need sausages and peppers. However what makes this Sausages and Peppers Recipe different from most are the types of peppers we call for and of course the finishing touches.

This recipe works so well, because the sausage lends great flavor to the veggies as everything roasts together in the oven. We decided to use chicken sausage for this recipe but you can use whichever fresh sausage you like. If we had to pick a different sausage, Classic Italian sausage would work great.

The peppers we are calling for are Poblano, Red Peppers and Yellow Peppers. These peppers come together so nicely, and the poblano gives it that nice subtle layer of heat. However if you don’t have these peppers, switch out for whatever is on hand or you prefer. The peppers can even be substituted out for a different vegetable.

The cherry tomatoes pop and form a beautiful sauce balanced by all the herbs, keeping everything very moist.

Before roasting, poke holes in the sausage this will allow the steam to escape so they do not explode.
If you want to substitute the peppers for something else, just keep in mind that whatever it is needs to be able to cook in the same amount of time as the sausages.
You can even add a few more sausage links if your crowd loves the extra protein. This recipe calculates a little more than 1 sausage per person.

Like all sheet pan meals, this is a dinner on it’s own without a need for sides. But if you want to add something else, we would serve this with some greens like our Chopped Salad, or our Creamy Orzo. And like most Cuban households we’d serve this with a big bowl of Cuban White Rice.
