Ingredients
  

1 lb Italian sausage (sweet or spicy, your choice), sliced

1 medium zucchini, diced

2 bell peppers (red and yellow), sliced into strips

1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned, drained)

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and black pepper to taste

Fresh parsley or basil for garnish

Crusty bread or rice for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by slicing the sausage, dicing the zucchini, and slicing the bell peppers. Mince the garlic and dice the onion for an aromatic base.

    Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, add the sliced sausage. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through.

      Cook the Vegetables: Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the sausage. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

        Add Bell Peppers and Zucchini: Stir in the sliced bell peppers and diced zucchini. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the veggies to soften while stirring occasionally.

          Incorporate Corn and Seasonings: Mix in the corn, followed by the dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything well to combine and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the corn is heated through.

            Taste and Adjust: Taste the skillet and adjust the seasonings if needed. If you prefer a bit more heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.

              Garnish and Serve: Once everything is nicely combined and cooked, remove from heat. Garnish with fresh parsley or basil. Serve hot directly from the skillet, alongside crusty bread or over a bed of rice if desired.
