This is the BEST Sausage and Peppers Recipe ever! Must Try!

Enhanced Sheet Pan Italian Sausage with Peppers, Onions, and Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Ingredients:

4 Italian sausages, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
2 red bell peppers, sliced
2 yellow bell peppers, sliced
1 large red onion, sliced
1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, not in oil, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 whole head of garlic, top sliced off to expose cloves
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)
Salt and pepper, to taste
½ cup crumbled feta or goat cheese (optional, for creaminess)
Fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
Prepare the sausage and vegetables: In a large bowl, toss the sliced sausages, bell peppers, onions, and sun-dried tomatoes with olive oil, thyme, rosemary, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper until well coated.
Arrange on the sheet pan: Spread the seasoned sausage and vegetable mixture evenly across the sheet pan. Place the head of garlic on the pan, cut side up.
Bake: Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the sausages are browned and the vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
Add cheese and roasted garlic: In the last 5 minutes of cooking, sprinkle feta or goat cheese over the sausages and vegetables, if using. Once out of the oven, squeeze the roasted garlic cloves out of their skins directly onto the sheet pan. Use a fork or the back of a spoon to smash the garlic and stir gently to distribute it evenly among the sausages and vegetables.
Garnish and serve: Sprinkle fresh basil over the top for a fresh, aromatic finish.

hey everyone I’m Dave welcome back to the AI kitchen today we’re making enhanced sheet pan Italian sausage with peppers and onions and sundried tomatoes I had to kind of squeeze this recipe out of chat GPT for some reason it didn’t want to give me anything unique or creative and I was not willing to accept that so I got it to finally come clean with a decent looking recipe and that is what we’re going to cook today now what do I mean I have to explain this in every episode guys cuz otherwise the channel makes no sense when I say chat GPT I literally mean that when I cook I when I ask AI artificial intelligence or chaty PT to come up with a recipe I’ve been doing it for like a year now earlier I was just searching the web for recipes but I decided you know to stay with the trends stay with the now we should do AI it’s more interesting anyways we get to see if AI actually comes up with good recipes well this time I asked it to create a recipe that was going to be an easy one sheet type recipe somewhere we could throw all the ingredients in one pan and just cook it and have something amazing and while it wanted to have a boring recipe I did finally get something unique that I don’t think anyone’s tried before cuz a lot of what it was giving me was stuff that I’m pretty sure I’ve seen recipes for on the internet a million times so I didn’t want to go that route so let’s get the ingredients prepped first off we’re going to need Peppers it says how much two red peppers and two yellow peppers and here I am with one of each that’s okay there’s not a lot of people that are going to eat this anyways so we’re going to do one in one and one onion uh obviously if you want more food you can make this bigger and use two onions two peppers but since I’m not you know I don’t think my kids are going to eat this one to be honest with you why make a ton of it I don’t want to waste food but the idea is the same right just make a little more make a bigger recipe if you so desire what’s it say it says sliced Peppers sliced slice so actually I’m already doing it wrong that’s me not following the recipe I’m not a professional cook guys I just do this for fun uh ow not even the main thing I do it’s just something I enjoy doing although it’ be it’d be great if I was a pro cook but I don’t think that’s going to happen anytime soon as you will see from my terrible strategy and terrible technique so slice up the peppers I’m going to do one red one green you can do two Reds two greens you can do a red a yellow green and another green whatever you want the world is your oyster what does it mean to slice a pepper am I overdoing it just with that I cut the heads off these cloves of garlic it says to use one head of garlic but these are tiny so I did two heads of garlic and I cut off the tops like that so it says you’re supposed to have that like that cuz we’re going to roast that garlic now next you’re going to take an onion are we slicing or dicing slicing not dicing so what is the right way to slice an onion do you do it in half first I don’t really know that’s what I’m going to do I’m going to do it like that I’m going to do it like that and we’re going to call it slic so sausage and peppers one of my favorites we have it all the time at our house but we’re always doing it like a very simplistic way right we’re literally just taking onions and peppers and some sausage and throwing them on a pan with salt and pepper and then we just eat it an hour later so I like the fact that it went to sausage and peppers as a recipe idea cuz it is a good one pan recipe but I wanted to do something new something unique something that’ll be a little more adventurous and provide us with a little more flavor and that’s why we’ve added things like some dried tomatoes some feta cheese there’s going to be some interesting stuff in here the last thing we need to chop I believe is some sausage now it says Italian sausage Italian sausage was sold out as at Al these it was sold out at Walmart and it was sold out at public Publix I checked three places what I ended up with was this Lumber Lumberjack smoked sausage it’s not Italian but it is sausage and I’m sure it’ll be good it says four sausages which is well I got six here so I I’m going to again since I cut down the other ingredients I’ll probably cut down these and just do three and I’ll save the other ones for a future meal but three to four sausages these are also enormous it says cut them into half in slices like that so you know they’re more bite-sized and you can leave them whole and like Nestle them in the vegetables if you want but I thought let’s chop them up and really get them like we we’re going to do like a bunch of seasoning so we can mix them in with the seasonings and that should add a bunch more flavor to it all right I think that’s all our chopping done I think I’ll double check but I think that’s it for the chopping we’re going to put all this stuff that we’ve just prepped into a big old Bowl except for the garlic but I’ve got a big bowl here and we’re just going to put it all in there and obviously if you use more peppers and onions you might need a bigger bowl this is not an ideal Bowl I just got all my other bowls are dirty let’s be honest I don’t feel like cleaning them guys because that’s how I roll all right so we got all that there oops Rogue sausage now want to add in in sundried tomatoes it says not in oil I couldn’t find not in oil sundried tomatoes so we’re going to make do within oil sundried Tomatoes how much do we need one cup worth of these now what I can do is I can try to deoil them with like a paper towel I don’t know that might work Alexa do this part for me cuz it seems awful oh my gosh there’s so much oil too let me drain this oil I just drained a bunch of the oil now let’s do this I think it’s going to be it’s going to be the whole entire thing so let’s I’m just going to pour it out onto a paper towel and I’m going to use a paper towel to try to squeegee out the oil this is when everyone goes oh my gosh I can’t watch this guy he’s doing this all wrong and he’s a slob it’s true if you are OCD you’re not going to enjoy this all right so look I got a lot of the oil out so we’re going to add that in significantly less oil in there preheat your oven to 425 for this as well now it tells us to add olive oil so I just deoiled it to add more oil that’s silly so we’re supposed to add in 2 tbsp count them one two of olive oil one and we then want to add 1 teaspoon of thyme and 1 teaspoon of Rosemary and so we’re going to do that next there’s our one teaspoon of Rosemary and it’s dried and then this is our time grab a teaspoon of that and put that on there as well we then can add some red pepper flakes if desired and salt and pepper to taste just add some salt add some pepper and then we’re going to mix that all up together like so you know and the oil helps it to stick I think all those spices to stick I almost want to use my hands again guys I don’t know why I’m using a stinking measuring spoon for this yeah let’s do it I’m feeling crazy it’s not the best Bowl so I feel like hands are the way to go here there we go that’s pretty integrated now we’re going to take our sheep pan this isn’t really a sheep pan I mean is it though I don’t know probably not it’s probably not the right thing I think this is like a a baking pan not a sheet pan but whatever make sure it’s all mixed in looks good looks good I don’t have a cookie sheet that’s much bigger than this is a problem I’ve got one that’s slightly bigger than this I think this will work will this work guys do I need more space It also says to place our head of garlic in the pan like so I don’t know I feel like this isn’t a sheet pan but I really don’t think I have a big one let me go look sheet pan see yeah sheet pan looks more like a cookie sheet what about this guys I think I might use this giant Circle cookie sheet that’s kind of like a pizza dish let’s do that hopefully the uh depth isn’t going to be an issue ooh the sundried tomatoes smell good I’ll say that spread that all out yeah they definitely have more space to cook then throw on our garlic like that okay so what we’re going to do now is we’re going to put this in the oven at 425 for 25 minutes then we’ve got some more steps to do after that but this is going to get it started I’ll put it in and we’ll be right back in just a minute guys so we’re back it has been like 24 minutes and we’ve got to do the next step and I feel like I’m going to burn my hands doing it but we’re supposed to De like I don’t know squish squish the garlic out of these cloves or something just like squish it how do you do that without burning yourself I feel like I supposed to put olive oil I’ve roasted garlic before and when I did it I had to like put olive oil on it but didn’t call for that hey look one came out little garlic clove I’m supposed to like squish that up I need a fork or something stand by all right so anyways supposed to use like a fork or something I was really supposed to squeeze out the garlic but it’s not coming out with the squeeze then I’m supposed to like crush it maybe I should leave it all in one spot then can you see it I don’t know I don’t necessarily need all this garlic called for one clove I did two because I didn’t think the cloves were very big so I might just do like one and a half the rest I could save for later or something so I think that’s good ooh it smells very fragrant very fragrant indeed hot so it says to squish it up I feel like it should be more squishy more time would have done that I’m sure it would have but crush up the garlic like so it’s supposed to kind kind of like mix in like a paste that one’s a runaway run away garlic never coming home there we go you get the general idea I will say normally when we do sausage and peppers or not normally but often when I do sausage and peppers at my house I do uh put some potatoes on here too because you know potatoes make everything better but this recipe didn’t call for that another thing I’ll say is like once you have the sausage and peppers done there’s a lot of ways you can consume them you can put them on a hogy roll you can like low carb it and just eat them like this it can be a low carb option um I normally put them on a wrap I’ll be honest I normally put them on a wrap so that’s an option too but you can do whatever makes you happy it’s you’re cooking it’s your oops there goes that clove anyways get the garlic all mixed in best you can should be good enough I think and then add in a half a cup of feta cheese what’s better than feta I don’t really like Feta usually but you know what I’m going to follow the recipe this is a/4 cup so so you know what maybe I won’t do the full half cup cuz I didn’t do the correct amount of everything else I did like a little less so I’ll just do a little bit less make a mess mix that in and then it goes back in the oven for five more minutu to it looks pretty good honestly it’s pretty good indeed so let me spread it out 5 more minutes in the oven and then we’re going to taste it and see how it came out all right guys this is done this is done I read through the instructions again I might have done it a little backwards but that’s all right maybe I should have only done it for 20 then put the feta and the garlic but to be honest I like mine a little crispy when it comes to peppers and onions and garlic or sausage and sausage and peppers what are we cooking here uh so let’s just try we’re going to try it as is like as a low carb dish and then I’ll put it on a wrap which is how I normally would eat something like this hopefully this doesn’t burn my mouth that’s nice it’s like uh it’s almost aromatic in a sense how look at me am I sounding fancy I’m not trying to but that is the first word that came to my head when I was thinking about it and I think it’s that sundried tomato that’s adding that little pop of aromatics I don’t know okay so this let me try it the way I normally try I liked it that first bite was very delicious is uh my initial reaction let me try this way oh yeah that’s really good getting to the point now where I might just have to admit I like Feta again the feta is really adding a lot to it this is great this is another great dish it is better than what I normally make for sausage and peppers only thing I would change is i’ probably add potatoes cuz I like potatoes with my sausage and peppers so on the cook time I’d probably pre-boil the potatoes chop them up and then put them on there and mix them in with all the other stuff and just have them be part of it but yeah this is excellent this is uh maybe my new way to do it I really love the sun-dried tomatoes the feta is adding a lot the garlic is really fragrant and good uh yeah okay let me give it a grade I don’t know in the world of sausage and peppers it’s like a nine sausage and peppers are not my favorite thing it’s just something that’s e easy to cook that we cook pretty often so like in the overall world of my recipes is like an 8 8.2 something like that so yeah really good guys if you like sausage and peppers try this next time it adds a little bit of unique flare to it and it makes it a little bit different than what you’re used to and I think
