    Notes on Ingredients:

    Sausage- While we prefer mild sausage in our family, you can certainly go with medium or spicy.

    Veggies- Feel free to adapt this recipe by incorporating your favorite veggies. We love baked Italian sausage with peppers and tomatoes, but potatoes, broccoli or zucchini would be other great options.

    Note: Consider holding onto your bell pepper stems for this adorable Bell Peppers Art Craft.

    👩‍🍳 How to Make Baked Italian Sausage with Veggies

    1. Preheat oven to 425 ° F and line pan with aluminum foil for parchment paper.
    2. Toss Italian sausage and veggies in oil and seasoning.
    3. Spread veggies and Italian sausage on pan and bake for 15-20 minutes (flipping halfway through). Sausage is fully cooked when its internal temperature reaches 160ÂşF.

    🥄 Kid Step: Help chop!* Our fave kids knives right now are: Opinel Knife & Curious Chef Knife Set. Kids can also also help flip veggies and Italian sausage using these handy tongs!*

    *Note: For toddlers especially, these tasks require adult supervision and/or assistance, as items may be sharp, hot or otherwise dangerous.

    ✏️ Expert Tips & Tricks

    ✔️Freeze sausage ahead of time to make cutting easier. This is actually a tip from Johnsonville. Put your sausages in the freezer like 15-20 minutes before you're ready to cook. It will be MUCH easier to cut them when they're firmer.

    ✔️Slice meat into quarter-sized pieces to ensure it cooks quickly. 

    ✔️Control grease. If serving baked Italian sausage with peppers and tomatoes over pasta, keep in mind that baked Italian sausage generates some excess oil, which can help flavor the pasta. But if it's too much grease for you, you can scoop your sausage/veggies onto a paper towel before topping the pasta.

    ✔️Flip sausage and veggies halfway through cooking to ensure all sides have a crispy, brown finish.

    ✔️ Be careful not to overcook sausage. Sausage is fully cooked when no longer pink, the juices from the meat run off clear, and the internal temperature reaches 160ºF.

    ❓FAQS

    How long do you cook sausage in the oven?

    Bake Italian pork sausages at 425ÂşF for 15-20 minutes or until sausages reach an internal temperature of 160ÂşF.

    How can I store my baked Italian sausage leftovers?

    Store baked Italian sausage and veggies covered in the fridge for 3-4 days. Or you can freeze leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

    Can I bake sausages that are frozen?

    Yes! Just be sure to allow for an extra 10-15 minutes of cooking time.

    Do I need to slice sausage before baking?

    Definitely not! We prefer to slice our sausage for faster cooking and when planning to serve over pasta or rice. However, many people prefer to cook sausages whole and without piercing their casings to preserve flavor or when planning to serve sausage on a bun.

    đź‘¶ Tips for Picky Eaters

    Serve with pasta! I don't know about yours, but my kids love pasta. Let them choose their favorite kind!

    Don't mix it up if serving with pasta. We chose not to mix the oven roasted sausage and veggies into the pasta just in case our kids couldn't deal. Lol. As a result, we had the option to dish the pasta and sausage/veggies separate on our kids' plates.

    Add a side dish! Garlic bread or a side salad would be a great addition. We also love this Creamy Vegetable Pasta!

      Sausage and sweet peppers always remind me of the county fair! I love the flavor, color, aroma, and most of all the taste of this combo. We don't make enough sheet pan dinners but this one is definitely going on the menu!
