Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces hot dogs
- 3 large bell peppers (mixed colors: red, yellow, green)
- 1 large red onion
- 16 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 pieces wooden skewers (soaked in water for 20 minutes)
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 20 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat.
Cut each hot dog into 3 equal-sized pieces.
Wash and core the bell peppers, then cut them into 1-inch squares.
Peel the red onion and cut it into 1-inch wedges, separating the layers slightly.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Thread the ingredients onto the skewers in an alternating pattern: hot dog piece, bell pepper square, onion wedge, and cherry tomato. Repeat until each skewer is fully loaded, leaving a little space at each end for handling.
Brush the marinade generously over the assembled kebabs, ensuring all sides are coated evenly.
Place the kebabs on the preheated grill or grill pan. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly charred and the hot dogs are heated through.
Remove the kebabs from the grill and serve immediately. Enjoy them as-is or alongside your favorite dipping sauces and sides!
