- Add 1 more tablespoon of olive oil. Add onion, green and red bell pepper, celery and garlic. Sauté until softened.

Notes
- Make sure the sausage you buy is Whole30 compliant without any sugar, nitrates, MSG or other additives.
- For extra heat, add extra cayenne pepper and chili flakes to the jambalaya.
- I find frozen cauliflower rice to be the most convenient option as it takes less time to prepare.
- To store: Store leftover jambalaya in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
- To reheat: You can reheat the jambalaya in the microwave or on the stovetop.
- To freeze: Jambalaya can be frozen for around 3 months in a freezer-safe container. Make sure to leave some space for the liquid to expand.
