The Sausage and Veggie Skillet is a quick, colorful one-pan meal featuring juicy sausage and sautéed vegetables. It’s perfect for busy nights or meal prep, offering bold flavor, easy cleanup, and wholesome ingredients.

Ingredients

  • 12 oz smoked sausage or kielbasa, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 bell peppers (various colors), sliced
  • 1 zucchini, sliced
  • 1 yellow squash, sliced
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or herb blend
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Slice the sausage into 1/4-inch rounds.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add the sausage slices and cook until browned on both sides, about 5–7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed.
  5. Add chopped onion and sauté for 2 minutes.
  6. Stir in garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  7. Add bell peppers, zucchini, yellow squash, and cherry tomatoes (if using). Sauté for 6–8 minutes until vegetables are tender but crisp.
  8. Return the cooked sausage to the skillet.
  9. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir and cook for another 2–3 minutes to blend flavors.
  10. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use fully cooked sausage to speed up prep time.
  • Customize with any vegetables you have on hand.
  • For a low-carb option, skip starchy vegetables.
  • Add cheese at the end for a melty topping.
  • Freezes well for up to 2 months — ideal for meal prep.
