Oven baked sausage and peppers is a sheet panmeal that needs to go on rotation.

Oven baked sausage and peppers is a no fuss dinner recipe that is easy to make and even easier to clean up. I love to make this before my shift because I barely have any dishes to do.

Made with tender peppers, onions, and juicy sausage, this recipe will be a weeknight go to. This is also a sheet pan recipe like Sheet Pan Kielbasa and Potatoes. I absolutely love sheet pan meals, and this one is no exception.

Italian Seasoning - The Italian seasoning goes perfectly with the Italian sausage and kicks up the oven baked sausage and peppers a notch.
