Ingredients
- 2 low-carb pita breads
- 4 italian sausage links
- 2 bell peppers, assorted colors
- 1 medium onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 10 fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
- 4 provolone cheese slices
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Step 2
Slice the bell peppers and onion into thin strips.
Step 3
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the onion and bell peppers until tender, about 7-8 minutes. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir occasionally to avoid burning.
Step 4
While the vegetables are cooking, grill the Italian sausage links. Cook them for about 10-12 minutes, turning frequently until they are thoroughly cooked and have nice char marks.
Step 5
Slice the sausages in half lengthwise once they're cooked.
Step 6
Cut the low-carb pita breads in half to create pockets.
Step 7
In each pita pocket, place one slice of provolone cheese, followed by some of the sautéed peppers and onions, two sausage halves, and top with fresh basil leaves.
Step 8
If desired, return the assembled sandwiches to the grill for an additional 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese.
Step 9
Serve the sandwiches warm, either alone or paired with a low-carb side dish.
