Ingredients
- •Zucchini(227g)
- •Squash, Yellow Summer(227g)
- •Bell Pepper
- •Yellow Onion
- •Andouille Sausage, Pork(397g)
- •Vegetable oil(30g)
- •Paprika, Smoked(3g)
- •Garlic powder(1g)
- •Cayenne Pepper, Ground(1g)
- •1/4 tsp salt ($0.02)
- •1/4 tsp freshly cracked black pepper ($0.02)
- •Parsley, Fresh(30g)
Instructions
- 1Slice the zucchini and yellow summer squash into half-rounds; slice the bell pepper and onion into strips. Transfer all vegetables to a large bowl.
- 2Slice the andouille sausage into rounds. Heat 1 Tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat for 1 minute until shimmering. Add the sausage and cook 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until deeply browned on all sides. Transfer the sausage to a clean bowl.
- 3Drizzle the vegetables with the remaining 1 Tbsp vegetable oil, then sprinkle the smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper over top. Toss until evenly coated.
- 4Return the same skillet to medium-high heat for 1 minute until very hot. Add the vegetables and sauté 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until just tender-crisp but still slightly firm (they will soften further when reheated).
- 5Remove the skillet from the heat. Add the cooked sausage and fresh parsley to the vegetables, then toss to combine. Taste and adjust salt and seasonings as needed.
- 6Divide the sausage and vegetable mixture evenly into 4 airtight containers while still hot. Allow to cool to room temperature, then seal and refrigerate until ready to eat.
