Ingredients
- 1 green bell pepper, cut into ¾-inch-thick strips
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into ¾-inch-thick strips
- ½ yellow onion, cut into ¾-inch-thick slices
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 (20-ounce) package mild Italian pork sausage, 5 links
- 5 hoagie rolls, toasted
Honey Mustard Sauce:
- ⅓ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
Optional Substitutions:
- Vegetarian option: Replace the pork sausage with plant-based sausage links.
- Gluten-free option: Use gluten-free hoagie rolls.
- Dairy-free option: Substitute mayonnaise with vegan mayo.
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F and ensure the rack is placed in the center. This will help your vegetables roast evenly and the sausages cook through properly.
Step 2: Prep the Vegetables
Slice the green and red bell peppers into ¾-inch-thick strips and the yellow onion into similarly sized slices. Toss them onto a large rimmed sheet pan, drizzle with the olive oil, and sprinkle with sea salt. Toss everything together until well coated.
Step 3: Add the Sausages
Nestle the Italian sausage links among the vegetables, ensuring they have enough space to cook evenly. For raw sausages, cook for approximately 30 minutes, or until the sausages reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
Step 4: Prepare the Honey Mustard Sauce
While the sausages and vegetables are roasting, mix the mayonnaise, whole grain mustard, honey, and soy sauce in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
Step 5: Toast the Hoagie Rolls
A few minutes before the sausages are ready, toast your hoagie rolls in the oven. This step adds a nice crunch and prevents the bread from becoming soggy when adding the roasted veggies and sausages.
Step 6: Assemble the Heros
Once everything is cooked and ready, place the sausages into the toasted hoagie rolls. Top with a generous helping of the roasted vegetables and drizzle with the honey mustard sauce.
Step 7: Serve Warm
Your delicious Sheet Pan Italian Sausage Heros are ready to be served! Enjoy them while they’re still warm for the best flavor experience.
Notes
- Roast Evenly: Make sure the vegetables and sausages are spread out evenly on the sheet pan. Overcrowding can cause them to steam instead of roast.
- Add Spice: For an extra kick, sprinkle some crushed red pepper flakes over the veggies before roasting.
- Crispy Rolls: If you love a crispy sandwich, try brushing the hoagie rolls with a bit of olive oil before toasting.
