Ingredients
Scale
Sausages
- 6 mild or hot Italian sausages
Vegetables
- 2 green bell peppers
- 2 red bell peppers
- 2 Vidalia or yellow onions
Seasonings and Oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Red pepper flakes (optional, to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat Grill: Heat the grill to medium-high heat and place a grill pan on top. Allow the grill pan to heat for approximately 5 minutes until hot.
- Prepare Vegetables: Core and slice the red and green bell peppers into strips. Peel and slice the Vidalia onions into similar-sized strips. Place all the sliced vegetables into a large bowl.
- Season Vegetables: Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and sprinkle with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Toss to coat evenly.
- Grill Sausages: Place the sausages on the hot grill pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they develop a slight char and are cooked through. Remove sausages from the grill pan and place them on a plate. Tent with foil to keep warm.
- Grill Vegetables: Add the prepared peppers and onions to the grill pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes, tossing occasionally as the edges become charred and the vegetables soften.
- Serve: Remove the grilled vegetables from the pan and serve alongside the sausages. Enjoy with toasted rolls or your favorite side dish.
Notes
- Use mild or spicy Italian sausages depending on your heat preference.
- If you don't have a grill pan, you can use a cast iron skillet on the grill or stovetop.
- To make it a complete meal, serve with toasted crusty rolls or a fresh green salad.
- Red pepper flakes are optional but add a nice kick if you prefer some heat.
- Make sure sausages are cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C) for pork sausages or according to package instructions for safety.
