I make this dish at least once every two weeks.  The setup is quick and it allows you to do other chores around the house while it bakes. Yes, it takes about 1 hour at 350 F degrees but is well worth it.  

This delicious combination of roasted bell peppers and Italian sausage can be eaten alone or made into a sandwich.  Use your favorite Keto bread or tortilla of choice.  You can also use chicken-based or beef-based sausage if you don’t eat pork. 

Chop your bell peppers, onions, and garlic.  Lay all your vegetables in your baking pan.

I was invited to a friend's house in Athens and they served Spentzofai, which is in essence sausage and green peppers. Specifically, it was with Pelion sausage coming from Pelion, Greece. My version added different colors of bell peppers along with red wine.

This is great for outdoor BBQ parties; your friends will love you and ask for the recipe. You can make it with only Green bell peppers for a more authentic version and you can serve inside a Keto tortilla for a great lunch.
