Vegan Sausage and Peppers

Terrence Roche
These vegan sausage and peppers are a crowd-pleaser through and through. We’ve served this plant-based dish to many crowds of non-vegans of all ages, and it is always a massive hit! It’s also easy to make and versatile: serve over pasta, on a sandwich, with rice, potatoes, or on its own!

Ingredients
  

  • 6 6-inch vegan Italian sausages
  • 2 cups sliced red bell pepper*
  • 2 cups sliced green bell pepper*
  • 2 cups sliced yellow onion*
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Heat a very large skillet or saute pan over Med-high heat. 
  • Add the vegan sausages whole and roll them around on the hot pan to let them “crisp” a little. This will take about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausages from the pan and set aside.
  • Add the olive oil to the pan. When the oil is hot, add the sliced onions and peppers and cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring often.
  • Slice the browned vegan sausages into bite-size, 1/2 inch pieces and add them back to the pan with peppers and onions. Saute another 5-7 minutes.

Notes

*2 cups of sliced pepper / onion usually equals about 1 large of each. Slice into 1/4 inch bite-size strips.

To Serve: 

  • Serve over bowtie or penne pasta. Cook the pasta according to the package directions for al dente. You can do this before or while the peppers and onions cook. Strain and spray with cold water so it doesn’t get sticky. Cover and set aside until you are ready to add it to the sausage and peppers and serve with our Italian Restaurant House Salad and / or Homemade Garlic Bread. 
  • As sandwiches. Alternatively, you can serve the vegan sausage and peppers in long Italian rolls alongside our easy Potato Wedges. The first is perfect for date night and the second is great for game day. Actually, they’re both amazing any time!

To Store:

Store in a well-sealed, airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
