Method

01

Roast the sausages

Heat the oven to 425°F and line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment. Prick the sausage links, arrange them in the centre, and roast 10 minutes.

02

Add peppers and onions

Toss the peppers, onion, and garlic with olive oil, oregano, red-pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Arrange around the sausages and pour the crushed tomatoes into the empty spaces. Roast another 15 to 18 minutes, rotating once, until the peppers blister and the sausages reach 160°F.

03

Rest, slice, and serve

Rest the sausages 5 minutes, then slice into coins and return them to the pan juices. Sprinkle with fresh basil and serve on crusty bread or rolls.
