Main Ingredients
- 6 pieces vegan Italian sausages
- 2 cups sliced red bell pepper Choose firm and glossy peppers.
- 2 cups sliced green bell pepper
- 2 cups sliced yellow onion Can substitute with other sweet onion varieties.
Cooking Essentials
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt Adjust based on sausage saltiness.
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Preparation
- Heat a very large skillet or sauté pan over medium-high heat until hot.
- Place the vegan sausages in the dry pan, rolling them around every minute until browned on all sides, which usually takes about 5 to 7 minutes.
- Once browned, transfer the sausages to a plate and set aside.
- Add olive oil to the hot skillet, and once it shimmers, add the sliced onions and peppers.
- Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring often, until the vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized.
