Ingredients

Scale

1 pound Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
3 medium zucchinis, sliced into half-moons
1 bell pepper, diced
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
Fresh basil or parsley for garnish

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add Italian sausage, breaking it apart as it cooks, and brown for 5-7 minutes.
Add chopped onions and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes until they begin to soften.
Stir in minced garlic and Italian seasoning, cooking for 1 minute to enhance the flavor.
Add zucchini and cherry tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Cook for another 5-7 minutes until zucchini is tender but still slightly crisp.

Notes

Avoid overcooking the zucchini to keep it slightly crisp. Feel free to mix sweet and spicy sausage for added depth. Leftovers store well and reheat beautifully.
