Ingredients

  1. 1 lb sausage links or ground sausage (pork, chicken, or turkey)
    1 red bell pepper, sliced
    1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
    1 medium zucchini, sliced
    1 small red onion, sliced
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
    Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sausage and cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  1. In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil. Sauté garlic and onions for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. Return sausage to the skillet and toss with vegetables. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes to combine flavors.
  4. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil before serving.

Notes

  1. Use spicy sausage or add crushed red pepper flakes for heat.
  2. Swap vegetables for mushrooms, asparagus, or broccoli.
  3. Add cooked pasta or rice to make it more filling.
  4. Top with shredded cheese or a sprinkle of Parmesan.
  5. Use fresh herbs like thyme or oregano for different flavor profiles.
  6. Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  7. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave.
