Instructions
-
Preheat Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
-
Prepare Marinade: In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
-
Marinate Vegetables: Place the cut vegetables in the mixing bowl with the marinade. Toss well to ensure all vegetables are evenly coated. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
-
Assemble Kabobs: Thread the pieces of kielbasa, marinated vegetables, and cherry tomatoes onto the skewers, alternating between the sausage and vegetables.
-
Grill Kabobs: Place the kabobs on the preheated grill. Cook for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and slightly charred, and the kielbasa is heated through and has grill marks.
-
Baste Kabobs: During the last few minutes of grilling, use a basting brush to apply any remaining marinade to the kabobs.
-
Serve: Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes. Serve hot, and enjoy your delicious Grilled Kielbasa and Veggie Kabobs!
