Tips for the sausage veggie recipe
Here are a few tips to make this sausage and vegetable recipe even better:
- Do not overcook the vegetables so they will stay crisp-tender and retain their nutrients and flavor. Cooking carrots a bit longer ensures everything is cooked evenly.
- Swap vegetables: Mix it up and use your favorite vegetables instead. Some great options include bell peppers, zucchini, broccoli, baby corn, and (parboiled) potatoes.
- Make it ahead of time: Save even more time on your busy weeknights by prepping some of the ingredients. Slice the sausage and chop the vegetables ahead of time and store them in separate containers in your fridge.
- Go easy on salt: sausage is already salty. Make sure you use low-sodium broth. Too much salt and you’ll lose all of these delicate flavors!
