Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 1 lb Italian sausage
Vegetables:
- 1 cup bell peppers
- 1 cup zucchini
- 1 medium red onion
- 3 garlic cloves
Seasonings and Oils:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons dried Italian herbs
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- Thoroughly rinse your bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion under cool water. Slice peppers into ½-inch strips, zucchini into ¼-inch rounds, and onion into 1-inch wedges.
- Place a large 12-inch skillet on the stovetop. Pour 2 tablespoons olive oil and heat at medium-high (375°F) until oil shimmers slightly.
- Carefully arrange 1 pound of Italian sausages in the hot skillet. Sear for 4-5 minutes per side, rotating until exterior turns golden brown and develops a crispy exterior.
- Add 1 cup sliced bell peppers, 1 cup zucchini rounds, and red onion wedges directly into the skillet around the sausages. Scatter 3 minced garlic cloves evenly across the vegetables.
- Sprinkle 2 teaspoons dried Italian herbs, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper over the entire skillet contents. Gently toss with tongs to distribute seasoning.
- Reduce heat to medium (350°F) and continue cooking for 12-15 minutes. Stir occasionally, ensuring vegetables become tender but maintain a slight crunch and sausages reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
Notes
- Slice vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking and a professional-looking dish.
- Choose high-quality sausages with good flavor since they’ll be the star of this one-pan meal.
- Avoid overcrowding the skillet to help vegetables caramelize instead of steaming.
- For a low-carb version, swap bell peppers for lower-carb options like cauliflower or broccoli florets.
