Ingredients for Kielbasa and Zucchini
This no-fuss kielbasa and zucchini couldn’t be any easier with only 2 main ingredients, seasoned, making it the perfect quick, frugal, family-friendly summer dinner idea.
You will need:
- Beef or Polska Kielbasa
- Zucchini
- Avocado Oil
- Garlic Powder
- Salt and Pepper
How to Make Kielbasa and Zucchini on the Blackstone
- Start by slicing and quartering the zucchini and kielbasa.
- Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium heat.
- Drizzle your avocado oil on the griddle surface and spread with a spatula to prevent sticking.
- Add your zucchini, season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, stir, and let cook for a couple of minutes.
- Then, using a squeeze bottle with water, squirt water over your zucchini and cover with a dome lid to steam for 2 more minutes so they soften quicker.
- Uncover your zucchini, then add the sliced (and quartered) kielbasa and let it cook for 5 minutes more or until brown and caramelized.
- Serve with our loaded potato recipe, buttered garlic noodles, or rice.
Variations
- Replace the kielbasa. You can use chicken or turkey sausage to make the recipe healthier.
- Switch out the vegetables. Add in some onions, peppers, squash, or sliced potatoes for a complete meal.
- Add in some spice. Try adding in some red pepper flakes for some more spice.
Note: If you prefer your zucchini to be more tender-crisp instead of softened, then you can skip steaming them and just continue to stir and flip until they are cooked to your desired tenderness.
Storage and Leftovers
- Store any leftovers from the kielbasa and zucchini in the refrigerator for 3 days in a covered airtight container.
- To heat the leftovers, microwave for 2 minutes or until warmed through, or reheat over low heat on the griddle or in a skillet on the stove.
