Ingredients
2 cups (340 g) cooked corn kernels (from about 3 ears)
1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
12 oz (340 g) cooked sausage (Cajun, andouille, or smoked)
1 large red bell pepper, diced
1 large zucchini, sliced
½ teaspoon (1 g) chili powder
Fresh chopped cilantro, to taste
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Slice sausage into coins and cook for 5 minutes, flip, and cook another 3 minutes until browned. Remove sausage and set aside.
Reserve some sausage oil in the skillet.
Sauté diced bell pepper for 4 minutes, then set aside with sausage.
Add zucchini slices to the skillet and cook for 3 minutes.
Stir in corn kernels, then return sausage and bell pepper to the pan.
Sprinkle with chili powder and stir until heated through.
Remove from heat, top with chopped cilantro, and serve hot.
Notes
Use pre-cooked sausage to save time.
Frozen corn is a fine substitute—just thaw first.
Add cayenne or use spicy sausage for extra heat.
Great as leftovers in wraps, rice bowls, or tacos.
Can be prepped ahead by chopping ingredients in advance.
