Easy Grilled Sausage Kabobs

If you are trying to mix up the traditional “chicken kabobs,” try using sausage instead! Sausage adds a great flavor to any meal, especially when paired with grilled veggies. I used chicken sausage with tomato, basil and mozzarella but you are welcome to use any pre-cooked sausage you’d like. Make sure it says “fully cooked” somewhere on the package- otherwise it is not cooked already and won’t hold together very well when you slice it and spear it on skewers. Give this easy grill recipe a try today!

Grilled Sausage Kabob Ingredients

Sausage: You will need 6-8 pre-cooked sausages, the flavor/brand/type of your choice. I used a chicken tomato basil flavor, it was extremely delicious with the veggie combination.

Vegetables of your choice: Some great veggie options for these kabobs are zucchini, red/ green/ orange bell pepper, pineapple chunks {fresh or canned}, mushrooms, and red onions. Use whatever veggies you and your family love, it will taste fantastic whatever you choose.

Glaze

Olive oil: Depending on how many kabobs you are making will determine how much glaze you need. The ratio is 3 parts balsamic vinegar to olive oil. If you are only making a small meal, you can do 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 3 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar. Or 2 tbsp olive oil, to 6 tbsp to balsamic vinegar.

Balsamic vinegar: Using balsamic vinegar gives the glaze a blast of amazing flavor, see measurements explained above in olive oil section.

Seasoning: Add in some salt and pepper according to your taste preference.

How to make Easy Grilled Sausage Kabobs

Prep

Get started by preparing the vegetables. You will want to wash and pat dry whatever the veggies of your choice are. Then slice each one into 1-2″ chunks, you want them about the same size as the diameter of the sausage. If you are using canned pineapple, pour the can of fruit and juice into a large zip bag. Then, add in all the other diced vegetables to the bag, plus some salt and pepper. Let the veggies marinate for at least an hour, turning the bag occasionally. I like the nice flavor this imparts onto the veggies, plus the added moisture helps glaze it when you put it on the grill.

Assemble

Next, chop the sausage into 1″ pieces then begin to skewer the sausage and vegetables in an alternating pattern.

Glaze

Then, in a small bowl, mix 3 parts balsamic vinegar to one part olive oil and add in a little salt and pepper. Whisk with a fork to combine.

Grill

Proceed to put the kabobs on a hot grill and glaze with the balsamic mixture. Turn them over after 4-5 minutes and glaze on the other side. Grill on that side for another 4-5 minutes. I do try and brush the glaze on just the vegetables, since the sausages usually have enough flavor on their own.

Once the sausage and veggies are heated all the way through, remove them from grill after 8-10 minutes.

Serve immediately and enjoy!

HOW DO YOU STORE LEFT OVER GRILLED KABOBS?

After you have finished eating, store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. After reheating this sausage and veggie dish the texture may change a bit, but the flavor stays the same!

CAN I USE ANOTHER TYPE OF MEAT IF I DO NOT LIKE SAUSAGE?

You sure can! You can use beef, chicken, pork or even shrimp if you’d like. However, make sure whatever meat you choose is fully cooked before adding to the kabobs, glazing and grilling. This recipe is written around pre-cooked sausage, additional time will be needed to cook any other type of meat beforehand.

CAN I USE FRESH PINEAPPLE FOR THESE KABOBS?

You can use fresh pineapple if you cut it up and reserve juice or buy canned/bottled pineapple juice. This just means a lot more work on your part, but fresh pineapple does taste amazing on the grill so it could be well worth it!
