Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Italian sausage links (mild or spicy)
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 large Yellow bell pepper
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 1 large Red onion
- 16 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 8 pieces Wooden skewers
Instructions
Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning on the grill.
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Cut the Italian sausage links into 1-inch thick slices.
Dice the red and yellow bell peppers into 1-inch chunks.
Slice the zucchini into ½-inch thick rounds.
Peel the red onion and cut it into 1-inch wedges, keeping the layers intact as much as possible.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
Add the sausage slices, bell peppers, zucchini, red onion, and cherry tomatoes to the bowl. Toss to coat all the pieces evenly with the marinade.
Thread the sausage and vegetables onto the soaked skewers, alternating ingredients to create a colorful arrangement.
Place the kabobs on the preheated grill and cook for 12-15 minutes, turning every few minutes to ensure even cooking and a slight char, until the sausage is fully cooked and the vegetables are tender.
Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes such as rice, pasta salad, or crusty bread.
