Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces thick sausages (bratwurst, andouille, or Italian sausage)
- 2 whole red bell peppers, sliced into large strips
- 2 whole yellow bell peppers, sliced into large strips
- 1 whole red onion, quartered
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 whole lemon, juiced
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using charcoal, wait until the coals are glowing and covered with white ash.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the baby potatoes, bell peppers, and red onion. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together to coat the vegetables evenly.
Place the seasoned vegetables into a large grill basket or secure onto skewers. Set aside.
Brush the sausages lightly with the remaining olive oil to prevent sticking on the grill.
Place the sausages and vegetable basket (or skewers) onto the preheated grill. Cook the sausages for 12-15 minutes, turning them occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through (internal temperature of 160°F).
At the same time, grill the vegetables for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred.
While the sausages and vegetables cook, make the herb drizzle by combining the chopped parsley and lemon juice in a small bowl.
Remove the sausages and vegetables from the grill. Arrange them on a large serving platter.
Drizzle the parsley and lemon mixture over the entire dish for a fresh, zesty finish.
Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, such as cornbread or coleslaw, for a true Southern-style feast.
