A quick and fuss-free weeknight dinner featuring hot dogs roasted on a sheet pan with caramelized onions and vibrant bell peppers, delivering a smoky, sweet, and savory flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 regular or jumbo beef hot dogs
  • 8 soft hot dog buns, fresh or lightly toasted
  • 2 medium bell peppers, mixed colors (red and yellow)
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Dijon mustard or ketchup for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Slice the onions and bell peppers about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick.
  3. Toss the sliced onions and peppers in a mixing bowl with olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the seasoned veggies in an even layer on a rimmed 18×13 inch sheet pan.
  5. Nestle the hot dogs on top of the veggies, spacing them evenly.
  6. Roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes, turning the hot dogs and tossing the veggies gently halfway through (around 10 minutes) for even caramelization.
  7. Check for doneness: hot dogs should be browned with a slight crisp, and veggies tender and caramelized. Roast an additional 3-5 minutes if softer veggies are desired, watching closely to avoid burning.
  8. Remove from oven and let rest for 2 minutes.
  9. Optional: Toast the buns in the oven for 2-3 minutes or on a skillet for added crunch.
  10. Assemble hot dogs by placing each in a bun, topping with sautéed onions and peppers, and adding mustard or ketchup as desired.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure proper roasting and caramelization. Slice veggies evenly for uniform cooking. Turn hot dogs and toss veggies halfway through cooking. For gluten-free, use gluten-free buns. Optional additions include jalapeños for spice, shredded cheese for a melty finish, or fresh parsley and hot sauce for extra flavor.
