Ingredients
For the sausage and bell peppers:
- 4 Beyond Meat Sausage Links, sliced to ½ inch rounds (I use Beyond Meat's Brat Original Sausage here, but their Spicy Italian would be great too)
- 2 bell peppers, or 5-7 sweet mini peppers, thinly sliced. (I recommend using different colored bell peppers purely because the color contrast is beautiful.)
- ½ onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 3 Tbsp olive oil
Everything else:
- 5 burger buns, (I use pretzel buns)
- Olive oil or butter, for brushing the buns before toasting (don’t laugh)
- Fontina or Mozzarella Cheese, freshly shredded or thinly sliced (optional; omit or use your favorite vegan mozzarella)
- Spinach
- French fries, for serving
Instructions
Prepare the sausage and veggies
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees
- Add the sliced sausage, peppers, and onion to a baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil, and sprinkle the salt on top.
- Now with your hands, gently mix it all together so that the olive oil and salt evenly coat the sausage and veggies.
Roast the sausage and veggies
- Put the baking sheet in the oven, and roast at 375 degrees for 12 minutes.
- Take the baking sheet out of the oven, and gently flip the sausage and veggies over with a spatula so a different side of each piece touches the baking sheet (don’t worry about being too perfectionistic here!)
- Put the sheet back in the oven and roast for an additional 8 minutes.
- Remove the sausage and veggies from the oven. Divide the veggies/sausage mixture into five even sections, and if using, quickly sprinkle/place the cheese over the top of each section. The heat from the sausage and veggies will melt the cheese.
Toast the buns
- On a separate baking sheet, lay out the burger buns. If they aren’t already cut in half, be sure to do that first.
- Brush olive oil or softened/melted butter on the top and bottom of each bun.
- Bake in the oven for 4 minutes, still at 375 degrees, until the buns are slightly toasted.
Compile the burgers
- Lay some spinach on the bottom half of each bun, followed by the sausage/veggie mixture. Place the top of each burger bun over the sausage/veggie mixture.
Serve and enjoy!
- Serve with some fries or a salad, and enjoy!
