Easy one-pan dinner (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 2 cups of corn, cut fresh from cooked cobs or use pre-cooked
02 - 1 large zucchini, sliced into discs
03 - 1 big red bell pepper, chopped up small
04 - 12 ounces of pre-cooked sausage (try smoked, andouille, or cajun style)

→ Seasonings and Oil

05 - 1 tablespoon of olive oil
06 - Chopped cilantro to sprinkle on top
07 - 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder
08 - Optional: Add salt, if you'd like

# Instructions:

01 - Take the sausage and cut it into slices. Warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Put the sausage in the pan and cook for about 5 minutes on one side. Turn over and cook 3 more minutes. Move the sausage to a big plate once browned.
02 - After cooking the sausage, keep a bit of the leftover oil in the pan for cooking the veggies. If you’ve got extra oil, pour it into a small bowl and set it aside for later.
03 - Add the chopped red bell pepper to the skillet you used earlier. Cook it on medium heat for about 4 minutes. If it starts sticking, drizzle in a bit of the reserved oil. Remove it from the pan when softened and add it to the sausage on the plate.
04 - Toss the sliced zucchini into that same skillet. Cook for roughly 3 minutes on medium heat. If it sticks, go ahead and add some of that oil you saved earlier. Once done, leave it in the skillet for the next step.
05 - For fresh cobs, grab a knife and carefully slice off the kernels. If you're using pre-cut corn, it’s good to go as is.
06 - Pop the sausage, bell peppers, and fresh corn back into the skillet with the zucchini. Stir them around so it’s all blended. Pour in any extra sausage oil you’ve got and toss in the chili powder. Warm everything up on low heat.
07 - Take the skillet off the stove. Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top. Taste it to see if it needs salt, but remember, the sausage might already be quite salty.

# Notes:

01 - This meal is perfect to make ahead! Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days—just reheat when ready to eat.
02 - Change it up! Use whatever veggies or sausage flavors you love the most.
03 - Keep the seasoning light since the sausage packs so much flavor, but feel free to tweak it the way you like.
