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
- Black pepper to taste
- Red pepper flakes, optional
Instructions
- Heat the grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and place a grill pan on it. Allow the grill pan to heat for approximately 5 minutes before cooking.
- Prepare the vegetables: While the grill is heating, core and slice the red and green bell peppers into strips. 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 black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- Cook the sausages: Place the sausages on the hot grill pan. Grill them for 2 to 3 minutes per side until they are slightly charred and cooked through. Once done, remove the sausages from the grill pan, place them on a plate, and tent with foil to keep warm.
- Grill the vegetables: Add the prepared peppers and onions to the grill pan. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the edges are charred and the vegetables are tender. Remove from the grill pan when done.
- Serve: Plate the grilled sausages with the charred peppers and onions. Serve with your favorite side dish or inside toasted rolls for a satisfying meal.
