5-Ingredient Grilled Italian Sausage Kabobs

With 10 minutes of prep and only 5 ingredients, Grilled Italian Sausage Kabobs are a quick and easy dinner recipe for busy summer nights! With the combination of fresh bell peppers, sweet onions, and juicy Italian sausages, this food-on-a-stick is flavorful and fun for the entire family!

Keith loves Italian sausage, and I'm often stumped as to what the heck to do with it! In the cooler weather months I'm happy to cook the Italian sausage in the slow cooker (like the recipe in my eCookbook), or pile it on top of a plate full of pasta and marinara.

But when it's hot out? Nope, a big heavy plate of pasta is not necessarily appealing. Instead, we go for lighter meals with plenty of fresh vegetables!

These Italian Sausage Kabobs are an ideal way to take advantage of those fresh peppers that are coming out of the garden right about now! And is there anything better than grilled veggies with a bit of char around the crispy edges? So, so flavorful!

Serving Suggestions

The Italian sausages are great on top of rice, piled on top of a big green salad, or paired with a loaf of crusty Italian bread.

In order to satisfy my carb-loving boys, I will also serve a simple pasta with marinara sauce as a side portion too. It's an easy dinner that tastes light, fresh, and indulgent with a glass of wine of a warm summer evening.

Mix up the boring hamburger and hot dog routine by throwing some Italian Sausage Kabobs on the grill (or on your indoor grill pan) this season. Trust me -- the men in your life will thank you!

Cook's Tips - Italian Sausage Kabobs

Cooking Just for Two? This is an easy recipe to cut in half! If your sausages come in a pack of 4, just freeze two of them for a later date. You can use one bell pepper (pick red or green), and half of an onion. Cooking time will remain the same.

Want to Prep Ahead? I like to chop the vegetables and keep them in an airtight container with a damp paper towel for up to 3 days in advance. You can also chop the sausage ahead of time so that you only need to thread the kabobs while the grill heats up!
