Tips and Tricks On How To Make Smoked Sausage and Zucchini
- Sausage: If you don't have smoked sausage on hand, you can use any sausage you like! Kielbasa, andouille, or even chicken sausage will work beautifully. Just make sure to adjust cooking times if needed, especially if you're using raw sausage.
- Cooking Time: Keep an eye on the zucchini. You want it to be tender but still have a bit of bite-this keeps the dish from getting mushy.
- Vegetables: Swap out the zucchini, squash, or tomatoes for bell peppers, eggplant, mushrooms, or even broccoli. The key is to keep the veggie pieces bite-sized so they cook evenly.
- Spices: Not a fan of oregano? You can use Italian seasoning, thyme, or a mix of your favorite herbs. For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes or smoked paprika!
- Cheese: Want to take this dish to the next level? Sprinkle some shredded Parmesan or mozzarella over the top before serving for a cheesy twist!
How To Store Smoked Sausage and Zucchini
- Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through.
- Freezer: This dish can also be frozen. Let it cool completely, then transfer to a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
How To Serve Smoked Sausage and Zucchini
- Over Rice: Serve this over a bed of fluffy rice - white, brown, or even cauliflower rice.
- With pasta: Turn it into a pasta dish by mixing it with cooked pasta and a little extra olive oil or marinara sauce.
- On Its Own: This dish is so flavorful and satisfying, it can be enjoyed all on its own.
