🍽 Ingredients

• 1/2 pound Italian Sausage
• 1/2 Bell Pepper (any color)
• 2 medium Zucchini
• 1 Corn on the cob
• To taste Salt
• To taste Pepper
• 1/2 tsp (optional) Oregano

📖 Instructions

1. First things first, let's prep our veggies! Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. While it heats up, shuck the corn, removing all the silks. Wash the zucchini and cut them in half lengthwise. Then grab those bell peppers, give them a good wash, and slice 'em into strips. Easy peasy, right?
2. Next, let's talk sausage. Remove the sausage from its casing and crumble it into a bowl. You can use your hands for this; it's kinda therapeutic, if you ask me. I like to use Italian sausage, but hey, you do you! Add the chopped bell peppers to the sausage bowl. Season generously with salt, pepper, and any other herbs you fancy. I often add a pinch of oregano for that extra zing.
3. Now, for the fun part – assembling our boats! Using a spoon, carefully scoop out some of the flesh from the center of each zucchini half, creating a little well. Don't throw that zucchini flesh away; it can be incorporated into the sausage mixture! Once you’ve got your wells, stuff each zucchini half generously with the sausage and pepper mixture.
4. Carefully place the stuffed zucchini boats and corn on the preheated grill. Grill for about 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the zucchini is tender, and the sausage is cooked through. The corn will take around 10-12 minutes, rotating frequently to ensure even charring. Remember to keep a close eye on it so nothing burns—trust me, burnt zucchini is not your friend!
5. Once everything is cooked to perfection, remove from the grill and let it cool slightly. It's important to let it cool slightly to prevent burns, you know. I know how impatient we can all be sometimes, but it's worth the wait. Then, serve it up and enjoy your amazing Grilled Corn and Zucchini Boats!

📝 Notes

• Feel free to adjust the seasoning to your liking. Add other herbs like basil or thyme if you like!
• If you don't have fresh zucchini, you can use frozen and just thaw them completely before grilling. It works but tastes a bit different, if I'm honest.
• For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sausage mixture. But don't go crazy! Remember, we want to enjoy it, not suffer!
