Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 links low sodium chorizo sausages
- 2 large red bell peppers
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 large red onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 medium lemon
Instructions
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
Slice the red bell peppers and zucchini into thick strips, and the red onion into wedges.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Add the sliced vegetables to the bowl and toss to coat them evenly.
Place the chorizo links and prepared vegetables onto the grill. Cook the chorizo for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through.
Grill the vegetables alongside the chorizo. Cook the vegetables for about 7-9 minutes, turning occasionally until they are charred and tender.
Remove the chorizo and vegetables from the grill. Let the chorizo rest for a few minutes before slicing them into bite-sized pieces.
Arrange the grilled chorizo and vegetables on a platter. Finely chop the fresh parsley and sprinkle it over the top.
Cut the lemon in half and squeeze the juice over the grilled chorizo and vegetables for added brightness and flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy a delicious, low sodium meal.
