Why this meal fits low carb

Sausage and peppers roast together for a one-pan dinner. Choose sausage without added sugar or fillers; peppers contribute most of the net carbs, so keep portions honest on strict keto days.

Swaps

Chicken sausage or sliced kielbasa. Add onions sparingly if you are under 20g net carbs.

Meal prep

Slice peppers ahead. Leftovers reheat well for lunch bowls over cauliflower rice.

Ingredients

  • 4 links smoked sausage (sugar-free), sliced
  • 2 bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 red onion, sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Toss sausage, peppers, and onion with oil and seasonings on a sheet pan.
  3. Spread in a single layer.
  4. Roast 25–30 minutes, turning once, until browned and tender.

Tips

Check sausage labels — many contain dextrose or maltodextrin. Sugar-free kielbasa or andouille works well.
