Ingredients

• 4 Italian sausage links (mild or spicy)
• 2 Red bell peppers
• 2 Yellow bell peppers
• 1 Large yellow onion
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 4 Crusty sandwich rolls
• 4 Provolone cheese slices

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Place the red and yellow bell peppers on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20-25 minutes until the skins are charred and blistered.

Step 3

Remove the peppers from the oven and transfer them to a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the peppers steam for 10 minutes to loosen the skins.

Step 4

While the peppers are steaming, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage links and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sliced onion. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and caramelized.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning to the skillet with the onions. Stir and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 7

Peel the roasted peppers, remove the stems and seeds, and slice into strips. Add the pepper strips to the skillet with the onions and stir to combine.

Step 8

Slice the partially cooked Italian sausage links into 1-inch pieces and return them to the skillet. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the sausage is fully cooked and heated through.

Step 9

Slice the sandwich rolls in half and lightly toast them under the broiler for 1-2 minutes.

Step 10

Assemble the sandwiches by layering the sausage and pepper mixture onto the bottom half of each roll. Top with a slice of provolone cheese and place under the broiler for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Step 11

Place the top half of the roll on each sandwich and serve warm.
