# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
02 - Place sliced bell peppers and onion on the sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with oregano, basil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
03 - Position the sausages on top of the seasoned vegetables in a single layer.
04 - Roast in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, turning the sausages and tossing the vegetables halfway through cooking, until sausages are browned and cooked through and vegetables are tender.
05 - Remove from oven and garnish with fresh parsley and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve hot, optionally with crusty bread or over rice.
