Instructions
Sausage & Peppers
Preheat oven to 400. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Cut the sausage links into rounds (about 1/2 inch thick) and add to a large bowl. Slice your peppers and onions into thin strips and add them to the bowl. Add remaining ingredients to the bowl and toss to coat.
Dump the contents of the bowl onto the baking sheet and use a spatula to evenly spread everything out. I like to flip the sausage so the round part is face down - this helps it to brown while cooking. Bake for 25 minutes (without stirring). Remove from the oven and serve over the zucchini ribbons. Enjoy!
Zucchini Ribbons
While the sausage & peppers cook, use a veggie peeler to create long ribbons from the zucchinis (see photo above). Add 1/2 cup of water to a large saute pan. Add ribbons and cover. Bring to a boil over medium high heat and steam for 3-4 minutes. Drain, and serve sausage and peppers on top. Enjoy!
