💡 Tips

• Line your sheet pan with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
• Cut the peppers and onions into even slices so they cook at the same rate.
• Don’t crowd the pan. Give everything space so it roasts instead of steaming.
• Flip the sausage halfway through baking for even browning.
• If you like crispier peppers, roast them for 5 minutes before adding the sausage.
• Use a meat thermometer to check the sausage hits 160°F for food safety.

• Tomatoes: Toss in cherry tomatoes or sun-dried tomatoes during the last 10 minutes for extra sweetness.

• Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella on top right after baking for a cheesy version.

• Heat: Add crushed red pepper flakes if you like a little spice.

Can You Eat Italian Sausage on the Keto Diet?

This is a very Keto friendly dish at just 7 net carbs per serving. To make sure you’re using Keto friendly ingredients, you should always read the label that the sausage is packaged in. Look for brands that have no added sugars.

Can I Use Frozen Sausage?

Absolutely! You will need to adjust the cooking time quite a bit to make up for the time it takes the sausage thaw to when it actually begins to cook. You should count on an additional 10 minutes to start with, but it could take a little longer depending on the size of the sausages.

Can I Prep This Recipe Ahead of Time?

Sure. Slice the peppers and onions a day in advance and keep them in the fridge. When you’re ready, just toss everything on the pan and bake.
