Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound kielbasa sausage
- 2 large apples (Gala or Honeycrisp recommended)
- 1 large red onion
- 2 medium bell peppers (assorted colors)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon dried thyme
- 10 pieces wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
Instructions
1. Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
2. Slice the kielbasa into 1-inch thick rounds.
3. Core and chop the apples into 1-inch cubes, leaving the skin on for added texture and color.
4. Peel and cut the red onion into 1-inch chunks, separating the layers.
5. Seed and cut the bell peppers into 1-inch squares.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, apple cider vinegar, black pepper, salt, and dried thyme to make the marinade.
7. Assemble the kabobs by threading pieces of kielbasa, apple, red onion, and bell pepper onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating for variety and color.
8. Brush the kabobs generously with the prepared marinade.
9. Place the kabobs on the preheated grill, turning every 2-3 minutes and basting with remaining marinade, until the kielbasa is heated through and the vegetables and apples are slightly charred, about 8-10 minutes total.
10. Remove the kabobs from the grill and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
11. Serve warm as an appetizer, side dish, or part of your main meal. Enjoy!
