A quick and easy BBQ recipe featuring smoky kielbasa and colorful bell peppers threaded on skewers with a smoky paprika marinade. Perfect for outdoor gatherings and crowd-pleasing meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound smoked kielbasa, sliced into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 large bell peppers (red, yellow, or orange), cut into 1-inch chunks
  • 1 medium red onion, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
  • Wooden or metal skewers

Instructions

  1. Slice the smoked kielbasa into 1-inch pieces. Core and chop the bell peppers into roughly 1-inch chunks. Peel and cut the red onion into similar-sized pieces.
  2. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
  3. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
  4. Add kielbasa slices, bell peppers, and onions to the marinade bowl. Toss until evenly coated.
  5. Thread kielbasa, bell pepper, and onion pieces alternately onto the skewers, leaving a little space between pieces.
  6. Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat (around 400°F / 200°C).
  7. Place skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning every 3-4 minutes until kielbasa has grill marks and peppers are slightly softened.
  8. Remove skewers carefully with tongs. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

Soak wooden skewers for at least 30 minutes before grilling to prevent burning. Turn skewers gently to avoid breaking sausage casing or pepper pieces. If peppers char too quickly, move skewers to a cooler part of the grill. Brush extra olive oil on kielbasa if it starts drying out. Can substitute turkey kielbasa for a leaner option or smoked tofu/seitan for vegetarian version.
