Ingredients

1 lb sausage (Italian or chicken)

1 yellow bell pepper

1 green bell pepper

1 medium zucchini

1 medium onion

3 cloves garlic

2 tbsp olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables: Wash and slice the bell peppers into strips, chop the onion into wedges, slice the zucchini into half-moons, and mince the garlic.

  2. Cook the sausage: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the sliced sausage and cook for about 5 minutes until browned, breaking up clumps as needed.

  3. Add the vegetables: Stir in the onions first and sauté for 2 minutes before adding the bell peppers and zucchini. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until softened.

  4. Add garlic and season: Add the minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook for another minute until fragrant.

  5. Serve: Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as rice or crusty bread.


Notes

Swap the sausage for plant-based options, chicken sausage, or any other preferred variety.

Add seasonal vegetables like mushrooms, spinach, or broccoli for variety.

Spice it up with red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, or fresh herbs.
