Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb 0.45 kg smoked sausage (or chicken sausage), sliced
  • 2 tablespoons 0.1 lb olive oil
  • 1 small onion 0.25 lb, sliced
  • 1 bell pepper 0.3 lb, sliced (any color)
  • 1 zucchini 0.4 lb, sliced into rounds
  • 1 yellow squash 0.4 lb, sliced into rounds
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley optional, for garnish

Instructions
 

Step 1: Cook the Sausage

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the sliced sausage and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

  • In the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Add the onion, bell pepper, zucchini, and yellow squash. Sauté for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 3: Add the Sausage and Seasonings

  • Return the cooked sausage to the skillet.
  • Sprinkle garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper over the sausage and veggies. Stir well to coat everything evenly.
  • Cook for an additional 3–4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 4: Serve and Garnish

  • Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Substitutions: Use turkey sausage or plant-based sausage for a lighter or vegetarian option.
  • Add-Ins: Toss in mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, or spinach for more veggies.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Serving Suggestion: Serve over rice, quinoa, or cauliflower rice for a more filling meal.
