- 16 oz Polish sausage kielbasa, or your choice of rope sausage or link sausages
- 1/2 large yellow onion sliced into 1-inch pieces
- 3 bell peppers any color, seeds and stems removed, chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep the ingredients: Chop the bell peppers and onions into 1-inch pieces. Slice the sausage into 1/4-inch rounds.
- Season: Place the sausage, bell peppers, and onions into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive or avocado oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

- Sausage variety: Feel free to swap the sausage for chicken sausage, turkey sausage, or spicy sausages like chorizo or andouille for a different flavor.
- Vegetables: You can add zucchini, mushrooms, or sweet potatoes for extra texture and nutrition.
- Spiciness: Add red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper if you like extra heat.
