Good, flexible and fast, this recipe is a surefire standby: All you have to do is toss together sausage, tomatoes, peppers, garlic, shallots and olive oil on a sheet pan, then slide the entire thing under the broiler. In just 15 minutes, you’ll have nicely seared sausages, tomatoes and peppers, all of which have released juices that you should dunk bread into or spoon over pasta or rice. Experiment with adding cumin, paprika, oregano or red-pepper flakes in Step 1, or swap the garlic for scallions or red onion. You could also scatter crumbled feta, lemon slices, olives, pickled hot peppers or string beans across the top in the last few minutes of broiling.

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat the broiler with a rack 6 inches from heat source. Score the sausages in a few places on both sides, making sure not to cut all the way through. In a shallow baking dish or baking sheet, toss the sausages with the peppers, tomatoes, garlic, shallots and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and spread in an even layer.

  2. Step 2

    Broil until the sausage is cooked through and the peppers and tomatoes are nicely charred, 10 to 15 minutes. Rotate the pan and ingredients as needed so everything gets under the broiler. If everything is charring too quickly, cover the pan with foil. Serve immediately.

We make an even more simple version of this and everyone loves it. Sausages (I prefer them sliced), mixed bell peppers and just a little olive oil— roast in the oven and serve over pasta, rice or cauliflower rice. It’s a weekday lifesaver as it’s 30 minutes to dinner or even less.

This meal was delicious and easy to prepare! A few notes/substitutions: Chicken Italian sausage is a healthier alternative and does not dry out Bake at 425 for 30 min rather than broil, flip sausage halfway thru. Everything gets nicely browned/carmelized without getting burned Roll some fresh basil leaves and slice, sprinkle over the top before cooking for added flavor

I used all the ingredients in the recipe but added a teaspoon dried oregano, half teaspoon paprika and green onions. I broiled for ten minutes then added capers, kalamata olives and sliced lemons and broiled for additional seven minutes. I sliced the sausages and tossed everything with big round pasta noodles called Mezzi Paccheri and parmesan cheese. This recipe is very versatile. You could use andouille sausage, or southwest sausage and adjust seasoning and vegetables to your preference.

I sliced my Trader Joe's chicken sausages up and enjoyed the char on the smaller pieces. Great recipe. Good with salsa and half an avocado!

This is easy and delicious. Used chicken sausage. Added more garlic and some olives. Sprinkled with dry oregano. Went with roasting at 425 for 30 minutes as broiling requires monitoring. Was even tastier the second night with lots of juice to smother a baked potato.

This is a big-deal, easy, satisfying and impressive dish. Quick and easy enough-in one tray pan, no less!-for a weeknight dinner, yet flexible and rich enough for company or an occasion. As others have suggested, I added Yukon potatoes (~1/4” sliced), skipped the feta altogether and roasted in a 425° oven for ~30 minutes; rotated once in the oven & flipped the sausage after 15 mins. So flavorful, so scrumptious and so flexible. Ali does it again!
