2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions
-
1. Preheat the Oven:
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Veggies:
-
In a large skillet (oven-safe), heat olive oil over medium heat.

Add the sliced onions, bell peppers, and zucchini to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to soften.
3. Add the Sausage and Garlic:
-
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the sliced chicken sausage to the other side.
-
Cook for 5-7 minutes, until the sausage begins to brown. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Season the Dish:
-
Sprinkle in the dried oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir everything to combine and coat the sausage and veggies with the seasoning.
5. Roast in the Oven:
-
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the sausage is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender and caramelized. Check halfway through and give everything a stir to ensure even cooking.
6. Finish and Serve:
-
Once roasted, remove the skillet from the oven and give everything one last stir.
-
Garnish with fresh parsley or basil if desired and serve hot.
