Ingredients

• 4 links andouille sausage
• 1 large red bell pepper
• 1 large yellow bell pepper
• 1 large green bell pepper
• 1 large red onion
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 8 wooden or metal skewers

Directions

Step 1

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning while grilling.

Step 2

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or set up a grill pan over medium-high heat on the stovetop.

Step 3

Cut the andouille sausage into 1-inch thick slices.

Step 4

Core, seed, and cut the red, yellow, and green bell peppers into 1.5-inch pieces.

Step 5

Peel and cut the red onion into similarly-sized chunks, separating the layers slightly to make them easier to skewer.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Whisk well to create the marinade.

Step 7

Add the sausage, bell peppers, and onion to the bowl with the marinade. Toss to coat all the ingredients evenly.

Step 8

Thread the sausage, bell peppers, and onion onto skewers, alternating for a colorful and balanced presentation.

Step 9

Place the skewers on the preheated grill or grill pan. Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred, and the sausage is heated through.

Step 10

Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top before serving.

Step 11

Serve hot alongside rice, salad, or crusty bread for a complete meal.
