# Ingredients You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 large zucchini, cut into rounds
02 -
1 large red bell pepper, chopped up
03 -
12 ounces sausage, cooked and sliced (try Cajun, Andouille, or a smoky variety)
04 -
2 cups of corn kernels (about 3 cooked cobs)
→ Seasonings and Garnishes
05 -
Fresh cilantro, chopped, for topping
06 -
0.5 teaspoon chili powder
07 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Toss in a handful of chopped cilantro once you pull the pan off the heat. Sprinkle with a little salt if you want, then dig in.
02 -
Put the sausage, zucchini, bell pepper, and corn back in the skillet. Stir them together, pour in any leftover oil, dust with chili powder, and gently warm everything through over low heat.
03 -
If you haven’t already, run a knife down the ears of corn to slice off the kernels.
04 -
Throw your zucchini rounds into the empty pan. Cook for about 3 minutes. If the pan’s dry, splash in some leftover sausage oil so it doesn’t stick.
05 -
Next, add your chopped bell pepper to that same pan. Let it soften for about 4 minutes. Use some of the oil left from sausage if needed. Scoop it out and set it with the sausage.
06 -
Pour olive oil into a skillet and let it heat up over medium. Slice sausage into coins and toss them in. Let them brown for 5 minutes, flip, and cook another 3 minutes. Take them out when they’re browned and set aside.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
The sausage packs plenty of flavor, so only toss in more salt if you think it’s needed.
02 -
Great to make ahead and handy to reheat for a quick midweek meal.
