Cooking the veggies (if using them in the recipe)

• Rinse the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. The bell pepper should also be rinsed and cut into strips, then cut into 1-inch bite-sized chunks. Arrange the cut vegetables into a single layer on a baking sheet that has been covered with parchment paper.
• Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables, then season them with Italian seasoning. Toss the veggies properly to evenly coat them.

Cooking the Italian sausages

• Adjust the oven’s temperature to 400°F and leave it to heat up; in the meantime, prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper (you could also use aluminum foil).
• Arrange the sausages in a single layer on the baking sheet (you may choose to include or exclude the already prepared cherry tomatoes and peppers); ensure that there is no contact between the sausages.
• Bake the sausages for 20 to 25 minutes in the center rack of the oven, or just until the internal temperature of the sausages climbs to 160 degrees F.
• Take the sausages out of the oven once they are ready and serve them right away.
