Instructions
- Heat the olive oil: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil.
- Cook the sausage: Add the sliced andouille sausage and cook for 4–5 minutes until browned on both sides. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the vegetables: In the same skillet, add the bell peppers and red onion, sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add the garlic, zucchini, and yellow squash, cooking for another 3 minutes until just tender.
- Combine the ingredients: Stir in the diced tomatoes, smoked paprika, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Return the sausage to the skillet and stir to combine.
- Simmer and garnish: Reduce the heat to medium and let the mixture simmer for 5–7 minutes until heated through and flavors meld. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- This dish can be served on its own for a lighter meal or over rice, quinoa, or pasta for something heartier.
- For a smoky twist, use fire-roasted tomatoes instead of regular canned tomatoes.
