Ingredients
Scale
Protein and Base
- 1 lb Italian sausage, casings removed
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Vegetables
- 1 lb baby potatoes, quartered
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
- 1 zucchini, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 cups fresh spinach
Seasonings and Herbs
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Prep Potatoes: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add quartered potatoes and cook 8-10 minutes until golden and tender when pierced with a fork.
- Brown Sausage: Push potatoes to one side and add sausage to the empty space. Break it up with a spoon and cook 5-6 minutes until browned and cooked through.
- Add Aromatics: Create space in the skillet and add diced onion and minced garlic. Cook 2-3 minutes until fragrant and onion starts to soften slightly.
- Cook Peppers: Add both bell peppers and zucchini to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook 4-5 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp and colorful.
- Season Everything: Sprinkle oregano, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper over the mixture. Toss well to coat everything evenly with the aromatic seasonings.
- Finish Cooking: Add cherry tomatoes and cook 2 minutes until they start to soften. Stir in spinach and cook just until wilted, about 1 minute more.
- Serve Hot: Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, then serve immediately while everything is hot and crispy.
Notes
- Cook potatoes first since they take the longest to become tender and golden.
- Store leftovers in airtight containers in refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Substitute any seasonal vegetables you prefer, adjusting cooking times accordingly.
- Add spinach last to prevent wilting and maintain vibrant green color.
- Use medium-high heat throughout to achieve proper browning on all ingredients.
- Taste and adjust seasonings before serving for the best flavor balance.
