Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat (approximately 375°F/190°C) and lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, combine the bell peppers and onions. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with Italian seasoning, and season generously with salt and pepper. Toss well to ensure all vegetables are evenly coated. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Using a toothpick or fork, poke several small holes in each sausage link. This will allow steam to escape during grilling and prevent the sausages from bursting. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Place the vegetables in a grill basket or directly on the preheated grill grate. Grill for 2 minutes, allowing them to begin to soften and char slightly.

05

Step

Add the sausages directly to the grill grate alongside the vegetables. Grill for 4 minutes, then flip the sausages over and stir the vegetables to ensure even cooking. (4 minutes)

06

Step

Continue grilling for another 4 minutes, or until the sausages are cooked through and have reached an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C), and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized. (4 minutes)

07

Step

Remove from the grill and let rest for a few minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more flavorful and succulent sausage.

For a deeper flavor, consider marinating the vegetables in a mixture of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and herbs for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
If you don't have a grill basket, you can thread the vegetables onto skewers for easier grilling.
Serve the grilled sausage and vegetables on hoagie rolls for a classic Italian sausage sandwich, or enjoy them as a standalone dish with a side of crusty bread.
To add a touch of heat, sprinkle a pinch of red pepper flakes into the vegetable mixture before grilling.
Ensure the sausages are cooked through by using a meat thermometer. They should reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

    Next time, I might try adding some sliced mushrooms to the vegetable mix for added texture and flavor.

    My family devoured this! I used sweet Italian sausage and it was a big hit with the kids.

  • Elvie Thompson

    This recipe is a lifesaver! Quick, easy, and always a crowd-pleaser. The tip about poking holes in the sausage is genius!

  • Constance Kozey

    I love the combination of sweet peppers and savory sausage. I added a drizzle of balsamic glaze at the end for extra flavor.
