Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 Italian sausages
- 1 bell pepper, sliced
- 1 onion, sliced
- 4 hoagie rolls
- 1/4 cup honey mustard
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Slice the bell pepper and onion into thin, even strips. Spread them evenly across the sheet pan.
- Place the Italian sausages on the same sheet pan, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Drizzle olive oil over the vegetables and sausages.
- Season the vegetables and sausages generously with salt and pepper. Toss the vegetables to ensure they are evenly coated with oil and seasoning.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning the sausages and vegetables halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
- While the sausages are roasting, slice the hoagie rolls lengthwise and lightly toast them in the oven during the last 3-4 minutes of cooking.
- Check that the sausages are cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F or 71°C) and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Let the sausages rest for 2-3 minutes before assembling the heroes.
- Place a sausage in each toasted hoagie roll and top with roasted peppers and onions.
- Drizzle honey mustard over the sausages, or serve on the side for dipping.
- Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your sheet pan Italian sausage heroes.
Tips
- Choose Quality Sausages: Select fresh Italian sausages with good flavor – they're the star of this dish.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Give your sausages and vegetables room to breathe for perfect caramelization.
- Use Parchment Paper: This makes cleanup a breeze and prevents sticking.
- Check Internal Temperature: Ensure sausages reach 160°F for food safety.
- Customize Your Hero: Experiment with different mustards or add extra toppings like cheese or fresh herbs.
- Toasting Tip: Lightly butter the hoagie rolls before toasting for extra flavor and crunch.
- Prep Ahead: You can slice vegetables and prepare the sheet pan earlier in the day to save time during cooking.
