Step 1:

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2:

In a large mixing bowl, toss the bell peppers and onion with olive oil, oregano, basil, garlic powder, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper until well coated.

Step 3:

Spread the vegetables evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Nestle the Italian sausages among the vegetables.

Step 4:

Roast in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, flipping the sausages and stirring the vegetables halfway through, until the sausages are browned and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F/71°C), and the vegetables are tender and caramelized.

Step 5:

Remove from the oven. Rest for 2–3 minutes. Slice sausages if desired.

Step 6:

Garnish with fresh parsley or basil before serving. Serve hot, alone or with crusty bread or over rice.
