Print Recipe

Hearty sausage and vegetable skillet cooked in under 30 minutes — a one-pan, colorful meal perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) Italian sausage (mild or spicy), sliced into 1/2‑inch rounds (about 4 sausages)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 red bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
  • 1 medium zucchini, chopped into half‑moons
  • 1 medium yellow squash, chopped into half‑moons
  • 1 small red onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium‑high heat. Add sliced sausage and cook until browned, about 5–6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  2. Add remaining tablespoon olive oil to the skillet. Add bell peppers, zucchini, squash, and red onion. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until vegetables start to soften, about 5–6 minutes.
  3. Add garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir and cook for another 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Return sausage to the pan and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes until all ingredients are heated through and vegetables are tender but crisp.
  6. Remove from heat. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm straight from the skillet.

Notes

  • Make it gluten‑free by using gluten‑free sausage.
  • Swap in chicken or turkey sausage for a leaner option.
  • Add a handful of baby spinach or kale toward the end for extra greens.
  • Stir in a splash of balsamic vinegar or lemon juice before serving for brightness.
  • Leftovers store well in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat in a skillet over low‑medium heat.
