Description

Grilled Italian sausage cooked with colorful bell peppers and onions makes for an easy weeknight summer dinner the whole family will enjoy.

Ingredients

1 red bell pepper, cut into strips
1 green bell pepper, cut into strips
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into strips
1 small white onion, sliced into petals
1 small red onion, sliced into petals
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
5 (4 ounce) links hot Italian sausage links

Directions

1 Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate.
2 Combine bell peppers and onions in a large bowl. Add olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper; stir well to coat. Poke 4 holes in each sausage using a toothpick; this will help to prevent them from exploding on the grill.
3 Place vegetables in a grill basket and cook on preheated grill for 2 minutes. Add sausage directly to the grate and grill for 4 minutes. Flip sausage over, stir vegetables, and grill for 4 minutes more.
