How to Make Sizzling Grilled Brat Kabobs

Let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps, and you’ll be enjoying your sizzling kabobs in no time.

  1. Preheat the Grill (5 minutes) : First things first: fire up your grill to medium-high heat. We want to get it nice and hot before adding our kabobs.

  2. Cut Your Bratwurst (5 minutes) : While the grill heats up, grab your bratwurst! Cut them into bite-sized pieces, about 1 to 1.5 inches. This size is perfect for skewering and ensures they cook evenly.

  3. Chop the Veggies (5-10 minutes) : Next, chop your bell peppers, red onions, and zucchini into pieces that are similar in size to the bratwurst. This helps everything cook evenly and makes for a great presentation on the skewer!

  4. Mix It All Up! (3 minutes) : In a large mixing bowl, toss together the bratwurst, chopped vegetables, a drizzle of olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Make sure everything is well coated! You’ll want to see that shiny olive oil hugging all those goodies.

  5. Thread It Together (5-10 minutes) : Now comes the fun part, skewering! Thread the brat pieces and vegetables onto your skewers, alternating each ingredient. This not only looks great but ensures that every bite is packed with flavor.

  6. Grill Time! (10-15 minutes) : Place your kabobs on the grill and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes. Turn them occasionally, so all sides get those gorgeous grill marks. You know they’re done when the bratwurst is cooked through and the veggies are tender. Basically, they should be sizzling!

  7. Serve Hot and Enjoy! : Once they’re done, remove them from the grill and serve hot! If you’re feeling fancy, you can garnish them with some fresh herbs. These kabobs are perfect on their own or served with a side of dipping sauce, or even a tangy mustard!

Why This Recipe Works

This recipe comes together in under 30 minutes perfect for that busy weeknight! You can literally have these sizzling kabobs on your table in no time.

You can mix and match the veggies to suit your taste. Got a leftover bell pepper from last week? Toss it in! You can even swap out the bratwurst for chicken or veggie sausages. The options are endless!

Using simple, everyday ingredients means you won’t break the bank with this meal. Plus, it’s a great way to use up any odds and ends lurking in your fridge.

Crowd-Pleaser

Honestly, these kabobs are adored by kids and adults alike. When I whip these up during a casual get-together, my friends pile their plates high without a second thought!

Minimal Cleanup

Since everything is cooked on skewers, the cleanup is a breeze. Just toss them in the dishwasher (if they’re metal) or soak your wooden skewers for a quick wash after enjoying your meal.

Serving & Storage

Serving Suggestions

These kabobs are incredible on their own, but if you want to elevate your dinner experience, pair them with some grilled corn on the cob or a refreshing side salad. You can also serve them with some dipping sauces like honey mustard or a tangy BBQ sauce for added fun!

Storage

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. They make for a great lunch the next day!

Reheating Instructions

To reheat the kabobs, simply pop them back on the grill for a couple of minutes, or use a microwave if you’re short on time. They’ll be just as juicy!

Freezer Friendly

While I recommend enjoying these fresh, you can freeze them if necessary. Just wrap each kabob tightly in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer-safe container. They’ll last for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to eat, let them thaw in the fridge overnight before grilling again.

And there you have it, your new best friend for quick weeknight dinners! What I love most about these Sizzling Grilled Brat Kabobs is that they’re so versatile and genuinely delicious. Whether you’re cooking for a family gathering or just a busy weeknight meal, they’ve got you covered! So, fire up that grill and enjoy a meal that brings everyone together. Happy cooking!
