Ingredients
Scale
Sausages
- 6 mild or hot Italian sausages
Vegetables
- 2 green bell peppers
- 2 red bell peppers
- 2 Vidalia or yellow onions
Seasonings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Red pepper flakes, optional
Instructions
- Preheat Grill: Heat grill to medium-high heat and place a grill pan on the grill. Allow the grill pan to heat for approximately 5 minutes.
- Prepare Vegetables: While the grill is heating, core and slice the red and green bell peppers. Peel and slice the Vidalia or yellow onions. Place all the sliced vegetables in a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- Grill Sausages: Place the sausages on the hot grill pan. Cook them for 2 to 3 minutes per side until they are slightly charred and cooked through. Remove the sausages from the pan, place them on a plate, and tent with foil to keep warm.
- Grill Vegetables: Add the prepared peppers and onions to the grill pan. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, tossing occasionally when the edges develop a charred look. Once cooked and tender, remove the vegetables from the grill pan.
- Serve: Serve the grilled sausages alongside the peppers and onions. This dish pairs wonderfully with your favorite side dish or toasted crusty rolls for a hearty meal.

- You can choose between mild or hot Italian sausages based on your spice preference.
- Red pepper flakes add extra heat if desired; sprinkle on when serving.
- This dish is great served on toasted rolls for a classic sausage sandwich.
