- 3 whole bell peppers (green, red, and orange; sliced)
- 1 whole onion (sliced lengthwise)
Seasoning
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 tablespoon dried oregano

Instructions
- Prepare the Seasoning: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, salt, pepper, and oregano until well combined, creating a fragrant and flavorful dressing for the sausage and vegetables.
- Arrange Ingredients on Sheet Pan: Place the Italian sausages, sliced bell peppers, and sliced onions evenly spaced on a large baking sheet, ensuring they cook evenly.
