Absolutely! When it comes to boosting the nutritional value of sausage and peppers, there are a few easy swaps and additions you can try! First off, opt for turkey or chicken sausage instead of pork for a leaner protein option. Then, load up on colorful bell peppers – they're packed with vitamins and antioxidants! Add some extra veggies like broccoli or zucchini into the mix for added fiber and nutrients. And instead of cooking everything in oil, try roasting or grilling the ingredients for a healthier twist. With these simple tweaks, you'll have a nutritious and delicious sausage and peppers dish in no time!

Heyy I Agree! Adding colorful peppers, onions, and zucchini is a genius move for boosting vitamins and adding vibrant flavor. And opting for turkey sausage or lentil crumbles is a fantastic way to lighten up the dish while still enjoying that satisfying protein punch.

Adding more veggies like spinach, kale, or even zucchini could up the nutrition game without compromising flavor, don't you think?
