Make simple and flavorful Italian sausage and bell pepper skewers on the grill. This recipe uses a light marinade for tender sausage and colorful vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Italian sausage (sweet or hot), cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3 large bell peppers (red, yellow, green), seeded and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 12 wooden or metal skewers (soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes before use)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to make the marinade.
  2. Add the cut Italian sausage, bell peppers, and red onion pieces to the bowl. Toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly with the marinade. Let it sit for at least 15 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
  3. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400 degrees Fahrenheit). Lightly oil the grill grates.
  4. Thread the marinated sausage, peppers, and onion pieces onto the prepared skewers, alternating the ingredients for visual appeal and even cooking.
  5. Place the skewers on the preheated grill. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes total, turning every 3 to 4 minutes, until the sausage is cooked through and the vegetables are tender-crisp and slightly charred.
  6. Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the sausage reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
  7. Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, brush the skewers with a little extra balsamic vinegar during the last few minutes of grilling.
  • Serve these skewers alongside a simple pasta salad or crusty Italian bread to soak up any juices.
  • If you do not have wooden skewers, metal skewers work well and do not require soaking.
