Quick answer
How do you cook sausage and peppers in the oven?
Roast sausage and peppers at 400°F (205°C) for 35 to 40 minutes on a single sheet pan. Toss the peppers and onions with olive oil and salt, nestle whole sausages on top, turn everything once at 20 minutes, and finish when the sausage reads 160°F.
