Ingredients
– 1 pound of your favorite sausages (Italian, bratwurst, chorizo, etc.)
– 1 bell pepper (any color, diced into chunks)
– 1 onion (cut into wedges)
– 1 zucchini (sliced into rounds)
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 tablespoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and black pepper to taste
– Wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
Now that you have all the necessary ingredients, let’s get started with the preparation. Follow these steps to create your amazing sausage skewers:
1. Prepare Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning on the grill.
2. Cut Ingredients: Dice the sausages into 1-inch pieces and chop the bell pepper and onion into similar-sized chunks. Slice the zucchini into rounds.
3. Season the Vegetables: In a bowl, mix olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add the bell peppers, onion, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes, tossing until well coated.
4. Assemble Skewers: Start by threading a piece of sausage onto the skewer, followed by a chunk of bell pepper, an onion wedge, a piece of zucchini, and a cherry tomato. Repeat this pattern until the skewer is filled, leaving a little space at each end.
5. Preheat the Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high heat, ensuring it’s ready for cooking.
6. Grill the Skewers: Place the assembled skewers on the grill. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the sausages are cooked through and have nice grill marks.
7. Check Doneness: Ensure the sausages are cooked to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). If using different sausage types, adjust cooking time accordingly.
8. Remove from Grill: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
These steps ensure that your sausage skewers are not only delicious but also beautifully presented.
