Keto Sheet Pan Sausage and Peppers Recipe

Keto sheet pan sausage and peppers is a classic Italian-American dinner made with one pan, minimal prep, and maximum flavor. Sliced Italian sausage roasts alongside colorful bell peppers and onions, caramelizing beautifully in the oven into a savory, sweet, and slightly charred combination. With just 11g net carbs per serving and 24g of protein, this hands-off 35-minute keto dinner is as effortless as it is delicious.

Ingredients

• 600g Italian sausage links (sweet or hot), sliced into 2cm rounds
• 3 large bell peppers (red, yellow, green), seeded and sliced
• 1 large onion, sliced into half-moons
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp dried basil
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
2. Combine sliced sausage, bell peppers, onion, and minced garlic on the sheet pan.
3. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle oregano, basil, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper over everything.
4. Toss well to coat everything evenly. Spread out in a single layer.
5. Roast for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and toss everything together.
6. Return to oven for 10-12 more minutes until sausage is browned and peppers are slightly caramelized.
7. Optional: broil for 2-3 minutes for extra color on the sausage.
8. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil if desired.

Tips & Variations

• Use a large enough sheet pan to avoid overcrowding; overcrowded pans steam instead of roast.
• Add cherry tomatoes in the last 10 minutes of roasting for a juicy burst of flavor.
• Swap Italian sausage for chicken sausage to reduce fat and calories while keeping it keto.
• Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 4 days and taste even better the next day.
• Serve over cauliflower rice or inside lettuce cups to add volume to the meal.
