Ingredients
- 1 pound fully cooked chicken sausage links, mild or spicy
- 1 large red bell pepper, cored and cut into thin strips
- 1 large green pepper, cored and cut into thin strips
- 1 red onion, halved then sliced (half moons)
- 1 pound grape or cherry tomatoes
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
- Few sprigs fresh thyme, about 1/8 ounce
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon sweet paprika
- Kosher salt
- Black Pepper
- Extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Set your oven to the broil function and arrange a rack about 6 inches or so from the heat source.
- Score the sausage links in several places but do not cut all the way through.
- Place the bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes in a mixing bowl. Add garlic, fresh thyme, oregano, paprika, a large pinch of kosher salt and black pepper. Drizzle some extra virgin olive oil (a generous drizzle of 3 to 4 tbsp or enough to coat the veggies well), and toss to make sure the vegetables are well-coated.
- Arrange the vegetables in one layer on a large baking sheet. Add the sausage, nestling the sausage links between the spread veggies.
- Slide the baking sheet under the broiler for 8 to 10 minutes (watching carefully) until the veggies have softened and the sausage is looking nicely charred.
