How To Make Italian Sausage Sandwich Recipe:

Here is how to make these easy Italian Sausage sandwiches. 

First slice all your vegetables and sausage and lay them evenly on a sheet tray. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to combine.

Make sure the vegetables and sausage are not overlapping a ton or they will not get caramelized. 

Cook in a 450 F oven for 10 minutes. 

Prepare the rolls by slicing them in half and topping one half with the cheese. 

Remove the sausage and vegetables from the oven and add the kale and tomatoes. Place the pan back into the oven for 5 additional minutes. 

Place the rolls in the same oven for 5 minutes to toast. 

Remove the sheet tray and the rolls. 

Assemble the sandwiches and serve immediately. 

What To Serve With Italian Sausage Sandwiches:

Heirloom Tomato Salad With Burrata and Pancetta

My Favorite Mediterranean Salad

Air Fryer Potato Wedges With Garlic Browned Butter

Roasted Broccolini With Pecorino and Pinenuts

Maple Glazed Carrots

Variations and Personal Touches:

Spice it Up:

• If you love heat, choose spicy Italian sausage and add an extra pinch of crushed red pepper to the vegetables.

Cheese Lover’s Delight:

• Experiment with different cheeses like provolone, mozzarella, or even a sharp Parmesan. Melting the cheese enhances the sandwich’s gooey, indulgent quality.

Grilled Goodness:

• Take the flavors to the next level by grilling the sausage links. The smoky char will add an enticing depth to the overall taste.
