Ingredients
For the Skewers
- 8 oz (225g) breakfast sausage links (pre-cooked or fresh), cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1-inch chunks
- 1 small red onion, cut into wedges
- 8 wooden or metal skewers (soak wooden ones in water for 20 minutes if using)
For the Garlic Butter
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
- Fire up your BBQ grill to medium heat (about 350°F / 175°C)—summer’s calling!
- If using wooden skewers, soak them now so they don’t burn—smart moves only!
Step 2: Skewer It Up
- Thread the sausage pieces, cherry tomatoes, zucchini, bell pepper, and onion onto the skewers—mix it up for color and flavor.
- Keep a little space between pieces so they cook evenly—no crowding here!
Step 3: Make the Garlic Butter
- In a small bowl, stir together melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper until it’s a fragrant, golden dream. Set aside—don’t dip yet!
Step 4: Grill It
- Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning every 2-3 minutes, until the sausage is browned and the veggies are tender with those gorgeous grill marks.
- Brush the garlic butter over the skewers in the last minute of grilling—let it sizzle and soak in!
Step 5: Serve and Sizzle
- Slide the goodies off the skewers onto plates—or eat straight from the stick if you’re feeling wild.
- Serve warm and bask in that BBQ glory—you’ve just made summer breakfast epic, ladies!
Cori’s Flavor Tips for the 40+ Summer Vibe
- Quick Swap: Use chicken sausage or bacon chunks if that’s your jam.
- Veggie Play: Add mushrooms or pineapple for a sweet twist—BBQ’s all about fun!
- Indoor Option: No grill? Broil in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Pair It: A side of scrambled eggs or a cold mimosa makes it a brunch party.
