Ingredients
- 4 sausage links (mild or spicy)
- 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
- 2 bell peppers (red, yellow, or green), sliced
- 1 zucchini, sliced into half-moons
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Step 2
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan and cook the sausage links for about 8-10 minutes, turning frequently, until browned and cooked through. Remove the sausages from the pan and set aside.
Step 3
In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the halved baby potatoes, cut side down, and cook for 5-6 minutes or until they begin to brown.
Step 4
Add the sliced bell peppers, zucchini, and minced garlic to the pan. Stir well to combine with the potatoes. Cook for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Step 5
Slice the cooked sausage into bite-sized pieces and return them to the pan. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper, then stir everything together.
Step 6
Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sausage to reheat.
Step 7
Optional: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Step 8
Serve hot and enjoy your Quick Sausage Dinner!
