Treat your ingredients with care...

• Salsiccia sausages — If you can't find salsiccia sausages, you can substitute with any other Italian-style sausages such as sweet or spicy Italian sausages.
• Bell peppers — For a smoky flavor, you can char the bell peppers on a grill or stovetop before slicing them.
• Zucchini — Make sure to slice the zucchini evenly to ensure even cooking.

Tips & Tricks

• For added flavor, you can marinate the sausages in olive oil, garlic, and herbs for a few hours before cooking.
• Serve the dish with crusty bread to soak up the delicious juices.
• Feel free to customize the roasted vegetables by adding other favorites such as eggplant or mushrooms.
• If you prefer a spicier dish, use hot Italian sausages or add red pepper flakes to the vegetables.
• Leftovers can be enjoyed the next day in sandwiches or pasta dishes.
