Instructions
Preparation Steps
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add sliced sausage and cook until browned and slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove sausage from the skillet and set aside, leaving any drippings in the pan.
Add chopped bell peppers and onion to the same skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5-8 minutes.
Stir in the chopped zucchini, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Continue to cook for another 3-5 minutes, until the zucchini is tender-crisp.
Return the cooked sausage to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss everything together to combine and heat through for 1-2 minutes.
Serve hot and enjoy! This dish pairs well with a side of rice or a simple green salad.
Notes
Feel free to customize with your favorite vegetables like broccoli, mushrooms, or spinach. For a bit of heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the seasonings.
