Instructions

Prepare Skewers: If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
Cut Ingredients: Dice the sausages into 1-inch pieces, chop the bell pepper and onion into chunks, and slice the zucchini into rounds.
Season the Vegetables: In a bowl, mix olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Toss the bell pepper, onion, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes in the seasoning until well coated.
Assemble Skewers: Thread a piece of sausage onto each skewer, followed by a chunk of bell pepper, an onion wedge, a zucchini slice, and a cherry tomato. Repeat the pattern until the skewer is full, leaving space at each end.
Preheat the Grill: Heat the grill to medium-high heat.
Grill the Skewers: Place the skewers on the grill. Cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the sausages are cooked through and have nice grill marks.
Check Doneness: Ensure the sausages reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Adjust cooking time for different sausages.
Remove from Grill: Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra heat, add jalapeño slices or red pepper flakes to the skewers.

For a vegetarian option, use marinated tofu or veggie sausage.

Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms, eggplant, or asparagus.

Mix and match different sausages like sweet Italian sausage or bratwurst for variety.
