Directions

Prep 15 minCook 20 min
  1. 1

    Preheat the broiler to high (500°F) and position an oven rack about 4 inches from the heat source.

  2. 2

    Trim and quarter the fennel bulb, then cut into 2-inch pieces, reserving some fronds for garnish and discarding the tough stalks. Quarter the onion and cut into 2-inch pieces. Cut the peppers into 2-inch pieces. Halve the sausage links crosswise.

  3. 3

    On a large, rimmed baking sheet, toss the sausage, fennel, onion, and peppers with the olive oil and salt until evenly coated. Spread into a single layer.

  4. 4

    Broil until the sausage is browned and the vegetables begin to soften, about 10 minutes. Stir and flip everything, then broil until the sausage is cooked through and vegetables are tender, 8–10 minutes more.

  5. 5

    Transfer to a platter and garnish with chopped fennel fronds. Serve hot.
