Sausage Kabobs are easy, nutritious, and loaded with flavor! We combine smoked sausage with bell peppers, red onion, baby Bella mushrooms, and a delicious seasoning blend.
PREP: Preheat the grill to medium-high heat (about 450-500 degrees F). If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 20-30 minutes.
VEGGIE AND SAUSAGE PREP: cut the sausage into 1 to 1-1/2 inch thick coins. Cut the peppers and red onion into 1-inch pieces. Cut the large mushrooms in half (leave small mushrooms whole).
MIX: In a large bowl, add all the cut veggies and sausage. Add olive oil, oregano, parsley, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper to taste. (I add 1 teaspoon fine sea salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.) Gently stir to combine everything.
ADD TO SKEWERS: Add the veggies and sausage on the soaked skewers.
GRILL: Soak a paper towel in vegetable oil, roll it up, and then using tongs, rub it along cleaned and completely heated grill grates. Place the skewers on the grill and close. Cook for 3-4 minutes and then flip on the other side and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until veggies and sausage are lightly charred.
SERVE: Remove and if desired, serve with some fresh chopped parsley. Enjoy as is or with a sauce (see Note 1).

Notes
Note1: While these kabobs are delicious on their own, we also love them with a sauce! My kids are obsessed with pairing these with ketchup. (I'll admit, I love it too!) Below are two other sauce options:
A tangy Dijonnaise is also a nice complement to the sausage. To make a quick Dijonnaise, whisk together 1/3 cup good Dijon mustard, 3 tablespoons mayo, 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, and salt & pepper to taste in a small bowl.
A honey mustard sauce is also a fun pairing with the sausage and veggies. Our favorite quick honey mustard sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons mayo, 1-1/2 teaspoons yellow mustard, 3/4 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice, 1-1/2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon honey BBQ sauce, and salt and pepper to taste.
