Ingredients
  

1 pound of your favorite sausage (Italian, chicken, or plant-based)

1 bell pepper (any color), sliced

1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons

1 red onion, sliced

2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Ingredients: Begin by slicing the sausage, bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion. Halve the cherry tomatoes and mince the garlic.

    Brown the Sausage: In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the sliced sausage. Cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.

        Add Zucchini and Garlic: Stir in the zucchini and minced garlic. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the zucchini to become tender.

          Combine Ingredients: Return the browned sausage to the skillet. Add the halved cherry tomatoes, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

            Cook Together: Reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet. Let it cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the tomatoes to soften.

              Serve: Once everything is cooked and aromatic, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
