Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb smoked sausage
  • 2 medium bell pepper
  • 1 large red onion
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak 8 wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes. Cut the 1.5 lb sausage into 1-inch chunks, the 2 bell peppers into 1-inch pieces, and the 1 onion into wedges.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, toss the sausage, peppers, and onion with the 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper until evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Thread the sausage, peppers, and onion onto the skewers, alternating pieces and leaving a small gap between each.

  4. 4

    Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the skewers on the grill and cook, turning occasionally, until the sausage is browned and the vegetables are tender with charred edges, about 10-12 minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for 2 minutes. Serve hot, directly on a wooden board or platter.
