This low-carb dish is full of bold flavors! I used my grill pan to get a nice char on the sausage, peppers, and onions, but you could roast or saute.

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. Grill sausages, bell peppers, and onion, turning occasionally until nicely charred, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer sausages and vegetables to a baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven until vegetables are tender, 10 to 15 minutes.

Cook's Notes:

Any sweet and/or hot Italian sausage links will work here.

Use any variety of sweet peppers you prefer.

Substitute provolone for the mozzarella if you like.
