How to Make Sausage and Veggies Skillet
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Return sausage to the pan and toss everything together. Cook for another 2–3 minutes.
How to Serve

Make it low-carb by serving it as is. Add potatoes or sweet potatoes for a heartier version. Use different veggies based on what you have. Add a splash of balsamic vinegar for extra flavor.
