Summer Vegetables with Sausage and Potatoes

We made this delicious healthy meal a couple of weeks ago after I brought home a bag of red potatoes and some bell peppers from the farmer's market and needed a recipe. I know it says "summer" but thankfully we still have all of these veggies in the stores/produce stands here for a little while longer.  So make it soon!



Summer Vegetables with Sausage and Potatoes
From SkinnyTaste, makes 4 servings, 326 calories/serving

Ingredients:

1 lb baby red potatoes, cut in half or quartered
2 tsp oil
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp kosher salt
fresh cracked pepper
14 oz Italian chicken sausage, sliced 1-inch thick - use kitchen shears to cut
1 large onion, chopped
4-5 cloves garlic, smashed with the side of the knife
1/2 orange bell pepper, diced 1-inch squares
1/2 yellow bell pepper, diced 1-inch squares
1 red bell pepper, diced 1-inch squares
2 tbsp fresh rosemary (or other fresh herb such as thyme)
2 cups zucchini, 1/2 inch thick and quartered

Place oil and potatoes in a large, deep non-stick skillet with a tight fitting lid on high heat; season with garlic powder, salt and pepper. When the skillet gets hot and starts to sizzle, reduce heat to low and cook with a tight lid on for about 20-25 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally to prevent the potatoes from burning. Remove from heat and let them sit 5 minutes without removing the lid. Set potatoes aside on a dish.

Add the sausage to the skillet and saute on medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally until browned but not quite cooked through, about 10 minutes. Season chopped vegetables with salt and pepper. Add onions, peppers, garlic and rosemary to the skillet and mix. Continue cooking stirring occasionally until onions and peppers become slightly browned. Add zucchini and cook an additional 5 minutes, mixing as it cooks until cooked through.

Return the potatoes back to the skillet and mix well. Adjust salt and pepper as needed; cover and cook 5 more minutes.



We loved this! It was healthy, tasty and filling. I definitely want to make this again. The only thing I would change is adding more zucchini next time! Thank you SkinnyTaste!

Enjoy!
