Substitutions & Variations
- Sausage Options: Use your favorite cooked chicken sausage for this recipe. We love this recipe with spicy Italian sausage, spinach and feta sausage, or garlic herb chicken sausage. Try our crustless sausage quiche for another delicious recipe.
- Olives to Use: Kalamata olives are the best choice for this Mediterranean sheet pan, adding a bold, briny flavor that pairs perfectly with the sausage and feta. For a milder option, try Castelvetrano, Niçoise, or green olives like Manzanilla for a more subtle, buttery, or tangy twist.
- Cheese Options: You can use fat-free, light, or regular crumbled feta cheese for this recipe. Or, omit the cheese entirely if preferred.
- Onion to Use: A sweet onion or red onion works perfectly in this recipe and pairs well with the flavors. Use a sweet onion for a milder flavor or a red onion for a bolder flavor.
- Kick of Heat: Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for a kick of heat.
- Add Tomatoes: Add sliced cherry tomatoes to the sheet pan for a burst of juicy flavor.
- Vegetables: Feel free to add chopped zucchini, eggplant, or artichoke hearts.
How To Make Mediterranean Sheet Pan Sausage and Peppers
- Slice the cooked chicken sausage into coins. Cut the onion in half, then into quarters, and slice into thick strips. Slice the bell peppers into long strips and roughly chop the olives.
- Add the bell peppers and onion to a sheet pan, spray with olive oil, and season with garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
- Add the sausage and olives, then toss again until everything is evenly combined.
- Spread into a single layer on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake at 400°F for 30-35 minutes, stirring halfway through, until caramelized.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with crumbled feta and chopped fresh parsley. Serve as is or over cauliflower rice.
Expert Tips
- Season the Veggies: Season the bell peppers and onions first so the spices stick and coat the veggies evenly. Then, add the cooked sliced sausage to the sheet pan, since it’s already seasoned and just needs to be gently coated with the rest of the ingredients.
- Don’t Dice, Slice: Keep the onion and bell peppers in strips instead of dicing them. The larger pieces roast better and give the best texture.
- Single Layer: Spread everything into a single layer on the sheet pan, so it roasts instead of steams.
- Stir Halfway: Use a spatula to stir halfway through cooking to help everything brown evenly and get those caramelized edges.
Serving Suggestions
Top with crumbled feta and parsley before serving, and enjoy it on its own for a delicious meal. Or, turn it into a bowl by serving it over cauliflower rice or our cilantro lime cauliflower rice. It’s also delicious over brown rice or white rice, or tucked into a warm pita wrap. For a fresh side, pair it with a salad tossed in our tomato basil salad dressing.
Storage Instructions
Store leftover sheet pan sausage and peppers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
Sheet Pan Sausage and Peppers FAQs
How Long to Roast Sausage and Peppers in the Oven?
Roast sausage and peppers in the oven at 400°F for 30-35 minutes, until the vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized.
Should I Cover My Sausage and Peppers When Baking?
No, bake sausage and peppers uncovered so everything roasts and caramelizes instead of steaming.
Do You Cook the Sausage or Peppers First?
For this recipe, there’s no need to cook the sausage or peppers separately. Everything roasts together on one sheet pan for an easy, flavorful meal. We’re using fully cooked sausage, so it simply heats through and gets lightly browned in the oven while the peppers become perfectly tender.
