Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 links Chicken sausage (fully cooked, spicy variety)
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 large Yellow bell pepper
- 1 medium Red onion
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 8 pieces Metal or wooden skewers
Instructions
If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Cut the chicken sausage into 1-inch slices.
Slice the red and yellow bell peppers into 1-inch squares. Peel the red onion and cut it into wedges. Slice the zucchini into thick rounds.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the sausage slices and chopped vegetables to the bowl. Toss everything together until evenly coated in the marinade.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (or set an indoor grill pan over medium-high heat).
Assemble the kabobs by threading the chicken sausage and vegetables onto the skewers, alternating between the sausage, peppers, onion, and zucchini for variety.
Place the kabobs on the grill and cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and have grill marks and the sausage is heated through.
Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest briefly. Serve hot and enjoy!
