What You Need

Before you start, gather your simple ingredients and tools. You only need a few fresh items to make these healthy grilled skewers pop.

Fresh Ingredients

• Smoked Sausage: 14 ounces, sliced into thick rounds.
• Bell Peppers: 2 large peppers (green and red), cut into chunks.
• Red Onion: 1 large onion, cut into thick wedges.
• Zucchini: 1 medium zucchini, sliced into rounds.
• Olive Oil: 2 tablespoons to coat everything beautifully.

Tools for the Job

• Skewers: Wooden or metal sticks (soak wooden ones in water first).
• Mixing Bowl: A large bowl to toss your veggies.
• Grill or Air Fryer: Your choice for cooking!

Step-by-Step Instructions for Perfect Sausage Kabobs

Step 1: Prep the Smoked Sausage Skewers and Veggies

First, cut your meat and vegetables into uniform pieces. Next, make sure your slices match in thickness so they cook evenly together. Then, slice your red onion and bell peppers into wide chunks that will hold steady on the sticks.

After that, slide the ingredients onto your sticks, alternating between the meat and the crisp vegetables. This method ensures that the savory juices soak right into the veggies. If you have extra veggies left over, you can always save them later to pair with a comforting savory-cottage-cheese-bowl.

Step 2: Toss with the Kabob Seasoning Blend

Next, place your fully loaded sticks on a clean baking sheet. Then, drizzle a splash of olive oil over the colorful vegetables and meat. Also, you want to coat them lightly so your spices stick to every single surface.

Now, shake a generous amount of your favorite kabob seasoning blend over the sticks. I love a mix of garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and a pinch of dried oregano. For a fantastic pairing, these bold spices go beautifully alongside a fresh meal like my greek-yogurt-chicken.

Step 3: Fire Up the Grill or Air Fryer

Next, heat your grill to medium-high heat, or preheat your air fryer to 400°F. If you use a grill, oil the grates lightly so nothing sticks. Then, lay the grilled sausage and peppers down carefully over the direct heat.

After that, let them cook for about 8 to 10 minutes, turning them every few minutes. You want to see beautiful char marks on the edges of the red onions and bell peppers. If you cook them indoors in your air fryer basket, shake the basket halfway through to get that perfect, even crispness.
