Kalyn's Zucchini & Sausage Kebabs
This recipe was inspired by a blog that I often read, Kalyn's Kitchen. Kalyn lost over 40lbs. on the South Beach Diet and her blog is loaded with tons of fresh, healthy, delicous, recipes. When I saw her recipe for Zucchini and Sausage Kebabs, I thought to myself, "Now that's a QuickBite if I've ever seen one".
These kebabs couldn't be any easier. It's more of an act of assembly than it is cooking. I decided to use a balsamic dressing for the marinade and added a little garlic powder as well because...well, because I add garlic to just about everything I make.
I must admit though, usually when it comes to grilling around here, my husband takes the reigns. It's not that I don't like to grill, because I do, it's just that it seems to be the one arena of cooking that excites him, so i figure, who am I to get in the way of a man and his grill. Now on the flip side, if I'm indoors using a grill pan (like I do in the video) then the pleasure is all mine.
Either way, indoors or outdoors, these kebabs work well. They're quick, simple, and d'lishes.
I served these with my Onion Cubed Cous Cous.
Ingredients
- 1 red pepper, cut into 2-inch chunks
- 1 zucchini cut into 1-inch half moons
- 1 onion, cut into wedges
- 3 links of pre-cooked turkey sausage, cut into hearty, bite size pieces
- ¼ cup of balsamic dressing
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
1. Layer zucchini, onion, sausage, and red pepper on a skewer, repeat 2 more times. Each skewer should have 3 pieces of sausage.
Note: if using wooden skewers, be sure to soak for 30 minutes in water before grilling.
2. Brush each skewer with balsamic dressing then season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
3. Heat grill pan over high heat. Cook skewers for 15-20 minutes. Rotate and brush with a little more balsamic dressing a few times throughout cooking process. Enjoy!
Makes 4 skewers
