Ingredients
You only need a few simple ingredients for this easy traybake:
- Good quality sausages – You can use any sausages you like. Pork sausages work well, but chicken or vegetarian sausages also roast nicely.
- Red and yellow peppers
- Onion – I like red onion, but white works just as well
- Olive oil
- Garlic
- Italian Herbs – or use just oregano or your own blend.
- Salt and black pepper
- Crusty baguettes or rolls (my recommended way to serve)
The full quantities are included in the recipe card at the bottom of this post.
How to Serve
This sausage and peppers traybake is really versatile.
You can serve it:
- Stuffed into crusty baguettes or rolls (I use part-baked baguettes which can cook at the same time as the sausages)
- In wraps or flatbreads
- With roasted potatoes or wedges (You can cook these at the same time, they’ll just need a head start)
- Over rice or pasta
- With a simple green salad or potato salad on the side
Sausage Sandwiches Top Tips
For easy sausage sandwiches, slice the sausages in half lengthways before adding them to the bread with plenty of the roasted peppers and onions.
And try adding a little mustard, mayonnaise or pesto to the bread before filling. It adds extra flavour and makes the sandwiches even more satisfying.
Variations
This recipe is easy to adapt depending on what you have at home but here are some ideas:
Add Potatoes
Turn it into a full traybake dinner by adding chopped potatoes to the tray. They will need about 40 minutes in the oven, so start them first.
Make It Spicy
Add chilli flakes or use spicy sausages for extra heat.
Italian Style
Add a little balsamic vinegar and fresh basil at the end for an Italian-inspired flavour. You can try Italian Style sausages too.
Vegetarian Version
Simply swap the sausages for your favourite vegetarian sausages. But do check cooking times as plant based sausages may not need as long to cook.
Tips for the Best Sausage Traybake
- Don’t overcrowd the tray – the vegetables need space to roast (I use this tray)
- Turn everything halfway through cooking so the sausages brown evenly.
- Use good quality sausages for the best flavour.
Got Leftovers?
Leftover sausage and peppers can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the microwave or in a hot oven until warmed through.
Sausage Pepper Traybake FAQs
What bread is best for sausage sandwiches?
Crusty baguettes, sub rolls and finger rolls all work well because they hold the sausages and roasted vegetables without becoming soggy.
Can I make sausage and peppers ahead of time?
Yes. The sausage and pepper mixture can be cooked ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
Can you freeze sausage and peppers?
Yes. Allow the cooked sausage and peppers to cool completely, then freeze in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
