Grilled Italian Sausage Sandwiches with Peppers and Onions

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Italian Sausage Sandwiches with Peppers and Onions.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your outdoor grill to a medium heat, and don’t forget to lightly oil the grate to prevent sticking.

2. Step 2

   Position the grate about four inches from the heat source for optimal grilling.

3. Step 3

   While the grill warms up, take a fork and gently pierce the sausages in a few spots—this helps them cook evenly and allows the juices to escape beautifully.

4. Step 4

   Set the sausages aside for now.

5. Step 5

   Next, let’s prepare the vegetables.

6. Step 6

   Slice off the bottoms of the onion halves so they can sit flat on the grill, making them easier to handle.

7. Step 7

   Then, brush the halved bell pepper and onion with a couple of teaspoons of olive oil, giving them a nice sheen and flavor.

8. Step 8

   Once your grill is ready, place the sausages, onion halves, and bell pepper directly on the grate.

9. Step 9

   Grill the sausages, turning them occasionally, until they’re beautifully browned and the juices run clear—this usually takes about 10 to 15 minutes.

10. Step 10

    Meanwhile, keep an eye on the vegetables; you want them to become tender and slightly charred, adding that delicious smoky flavor.

11. Step 11

    When everything is cooked to perfection, carefully remove the sausages and vegetables from the grill.

12. Step 12

    To make peeling the bell peppers easier, pop them into a paper bag, seal it up, and let them cool for a few minutes.

13. Step 13

    Once they’ve cooled down, remove the peppers from the bag and discard the charred skin, then slice them into strips.

14. Step 14

    Don’t forget to slice the grilled onion halves as well! In a mixing bowl, combine the pepper and onion strips with a pinch of salt, a dash of pepper, and a tablespoon of olive oil, tossing everything together until it’s evenly coated.

15. Step 15

    Now it’s time to serve! Place the grilled sausages into toasted sandwich rolls and generously top them with the vibrant pepper and onion mixture.

16. Step 16

    Enjoy your delicious creation, bursting with flavor and perfect for any outdoor gathering!.
