Everyone loves gluten free sausage and peppers: spicy Italian sausages with sweet bell peppers in a white wine sauce! Yum.
Italian sausage and peppers are often served at family reunions, fairs and other large gatherings.
Alas, not all sausages are gluten free. Many sausages have fillers in them that are grain based. Fillers help cut the cost of using 100% meat in the sausage. The grain also helps to absorb the fat.
You may have to be bold and ask your server for the brand of sausage used or whether they know the actual ingredients. Or just wait until you get home and follow this recipe for delicious gluten free sausage and peppers.
Ingredients
Today, my son and I had fun picking out 4 different colored peppers to sauté for our sausage and peppers dinner. The gluten free sausages we chose are Premio Sweet Italian sausage.
You’ll also need an onion, extra-virgin olive oil, garlic, thyme, and white wine.
How to make it
*Free printable recipe card is available at the end of the post.
Pro Tips And Recipe Notes
- No grill? No problem. You can finish the sausages under your broiler.
- Today, I used Premio sausage. I have also used Niman Ranch Italian Sweet sausage for this recipe. Niman Ranch are fully cooked so you can skip the step of cooking your sausage. Go with whichever sausage you like.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Bring some color to your table tonight. I hope you enjoy sausage and peppers!

Mmmmm, sausage is my favorite food. I’ve never tried something that is gluten free. Is the taste different? I know it’s healthier, especially for those who have gluten allergies.
This does sound delicious! Thank you for sharing!

Hi Missy,
Thanks for visiting. Some foods are naturally gluten free like these sausage that simply don’t have any fillers. Gluten is mostly found in cereal & grains, especially wheat. Some substitutes don’t taste too good, but more and more the food industry has been making better tasting gluten free foods because a lot of folks are finding that they feel better without gluten.
Half my family has non-celiac gluten intolerance. They must eat gluten free. Hence, I determined to take our favorite recipes and make them gluten free.
Gluten free is not necessary for everyone. That being said, I hope you will try this recipe. The wine sauce is delicious.
