Ingredients

• 12 ounces cooked sausage (e.g., kielbasa, andouille, or smoked sausage)
• 1 red bell pepper
• 1 yellow bell pepper
• 2 medium zucchini
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1 medium red onion
• 3 garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Slice the sausage into bite-sized rounds and set aside.

Step 2

Core and seed the red and yellow bell peppers, then slice them into thin strips.

Step 3

Cut the zucchini into half-moon shapes, chop the broccoli florets into smaller pieces, and thinly slice the red onion.

Step 4

Mince the garlic cloves and set them aside.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using) to make the sauce.

Step 6

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 7

Add the sliced sausage to the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and heated through. Remove the sausage and set aside.

Step 8

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the red onion, bell peppers, and broccoli florets. Stir-fry for 4–5 minutes until the veggies are tender-crisp.

Step 9

Add the zucchini and garlic to the skillet. Stir-fry for an additional 2–3 minutes until the zucchini starts to soften and the garlic is fragrant.

Step 10

Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and pour the sauce over the sausage and veggies.

Step 11

Toss everything together and stir-fry for 1–2 minutes to evenly coat the ingredients in the sauce and heat everything through.

Step 12

Serve warm on its own or over rice, quinoa, or noodles for a complete meal.
