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
- Pepper to taste
- Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Grill and Grill Pan: Heat the grill to medium-high heat and place a grill pan on the grill. Allow the grill pan to heat for approximately 5 minutes to ensure even cooking and good searing.
- Prepare Vegetables: While the grill heats, core and slice the red and green bell peppers into strips. Peel and slice the Vidalia or yellow onions. Transfer the sliced vegetables into a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. Toss to evenly coat the vegetables.
- Cook Sausages: Place the Italian sausages on the hot grill pan. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, turning occasionally until they are slightly charred on the outside and fully cooked through. Once done, remove the sausages and place them on a plate. Tent the plate with foil to keep warm.
- Grill Vegetables: Add the prepared peppers and onions to the grill pan. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, tossing occasionally as the edges become charred and the vegetables soften. Once cooked to your preference, remove the vegetables from the grill pan.
- Serve: Serve the grilled sausages with the charred peppers and onions. This dish pairs well with toasted rolls or your favorite side dishes for a complete meal.
