Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 1 lb Andouille sausage
Vegetables:
- 1 medium onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 bell pepper
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
Seasonings and Oils:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt
- Pepper
- Fresh parsley
Instructions
- Warm 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat at 350°F. Slice 1 pound Andouille sausage into half-inch rounds and sear until golden brown edges develop, about 5-6 minutes.
- Drop diced onions and minced garlic into the skillet. Stir continuously until onions become translucent and fragrant, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Introduce diced bell pepper and zucchini slices to the pan. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, keeping vegetables crisp and vibrant.
- Pour 14.5 ounces drained diced tomatoes into the skillet. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon smoked paprika and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning across the mixture. Season with salt and pepper to complement the sausage’s spiciness.
- Allow ingredients to meld together, simmering at low heat for 4-5 minutes and stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Remove skillet from heat. Chop fresh parsley and scatter generously across the top for a bright, herbal finish.
- Serve immediately while the sausage and vegetables remain hot and aromatic.
Notes
- Slice the sausage evenly to ensure uniform cooking and attractive presentation.
- Choose fresh, crisp vegetables for the best texture and vibrant flavor in your skillet.
- Adjust the spice level by selecting mild or hot Andouille sausage depending on your heat preference.
- For a low-carb option, serve over cauliflower rice instead of traditional rice or pasta.
