 Instructions:

1. Preheat Pellet Grill:

  • Set to 375°F using hickory, oak, or mesquite pellets for a strong grill flavor.

2. Prep the Skewers:

  • Cut sausages into halves or thirds, or leave whole depending on length.

  • Thread sausage pieces alternately with peppers, onion, and zucchini on skewers.

  • Lightly brush or spray with oil and season the veggies.

3. Grill the Sausage Sticks:

  • Place skewers directly on grill grates.

  • Grill for 20–25 minutes, rotating every 5–7 minutes, until sausage is browned and veggies are slightly charred.

4. Rest & Serve:

  • Let rest for 3–5 minutes before serving.

  • Serve with mustard, BBQ sauce, ranch, or a spicy aioli.

Pro Tips:

  • Use different sausages (andouille, spicy Italian, bratwurst, chorizo) for variety.

  • Great served over rice, in pita bread, or chopped into mac & cheese.

  • Want it cheesy? Add a cube of cheddar or pepper jack between sausage pieces!
