Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound kielbasa sausage
- 1 large red bell pepper
- 1 large yellow bell pepper
- 1 large red onion
- 1 medium zucchini
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 10 wooden or metal skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning while grilling.
Slice the kielbasa sausage into 1-inch thick rounds.
Cut the red and yellow bell peppers into 1-inch squares, discarding the seeds and membrane.
Peel the red onion and cut it into large 1-inch chunks, separating the layers slightly.
Slice the zucchini into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced kielbasa, bell peppers, onion, and zucchini. Pour the marinade over the mixture and toss until evenly coated.
Thread the kielbasa and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating pieces for a colorful presentation.
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Alternatively, preheat your oven’s broiler to high.
Place the skewers on the grill or under the broiler. Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred and the kielbasa is heated through.
Remove the skewers from the grill or broiler and let them rest for 2 minutes. Serve hot and enjoy!
