Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon oil I used avocado oil
- 1 pound Beyond Meat Italian Sausage cut in rounds
- 1/2 yellow onion diced
- 3 cups zucchini cubed, about 3 small zucchini
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil chopped
- 2 cups cooked rice optional
- chili crunch optional, for serving
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned on both sides (approx. 3 minutes per side). Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside. Leave the leftover oil in the skillet.
- Add the zucchini, onion & dry seasonings to the skillet and cook for 5-10 minutes, or until the zucchini is cooked to your liking. Add the sausage back to the skillet and toss until heated through again. Add the basil and remove from the heat.
- To serve, add rice to each bowl and top with the sausage/veggies. Finish with some chili crunch.

Notes
- I used the spicy Italian flavor, but you can use the mild or brats. If you prefer a different vegan sausage brand, cook it according to the package instructions.
- You can also add the cooked rice directly to the skillet with the sausage & veggies.
