1
Warm your skillet at medium heat. Once your skillet is warm, lightly oil your skillet. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or for a healthier alternative, use cooking spray.
2
First add in your bell peppers and onions. Cook until softened, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stirring often.
3
Add in your brussels sprouts and zucchini. Cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Stir often. Add more oil or cooking spray if needed.
4
Add in the sausage. Cook for an additional three minutes. Stir often. Add Mark oil or cooking spray if needed.
5
Add in your minced garlic last. Stir this into your skillet mixture for about 1 minute to release the flavors of the garlic, but not burn it.

Remove from heat, transferred to a bowl, and enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Sear Sausages First 🌟Remove sausages after browning and set aside before adding vegetables—this prevents them from overcooking while vegetables soften and allows you to build a flavorful fond on the pan.
- Cut Vegetables Strategically 🔪Cut Brussels sprouts in half and dice other vegetables to similar sizes so they cook evenly; larger pieces prevent mushiness while maintaining the sweet-savory balance.
- Deglaze for Depth 💧After searing the sausage, add a splash of apple cider or white wine to deglaze the pan and capture the caramelized bits, creating a rich sauce that complements the apple-sausage flavor profile.
- Layer Your Aromatics ✨Add garlic in two stages—half with the initial vegetables and the remaining half in the last 2 minutes—to prevent burning while achieving both deep and fresh garlic flavors.
- Finish with Acid Balance 🍎Squeeze fresh lemon juice or add a touch of apple cider vinegar at the end to brighten the dish and enhance the natural sweetness of both the sausage and apples.
