Ingredients

• 6 pieces thick sausages (bratwurst, andouille, or Italian sausage)
• 2 whole red bell peppers, sliced into large strips
• 2 whole yellow bell peppers, sliced into large strips
• 1 whole red onion, quartered
• 1 pound baby potatoes, halved
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 whole lemon, juiced

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using charcoal, wait until the coals are glowing and covered with white ash.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the baby potatoes, bell peppers, and red onion. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together to coat the vegetables evenly.

Step 3

Place the seasoned vegetables into a large grill basket or secure onto skewers. Set aside.

Step 4

Brush the sausages lightly with the remaining olive oil to prevent sticking on the grill.

Step 5

Place the sausages and vegetable basket (or skewers) onto the preheated grill. Cook the sausages for 12-15 minutes, turning them occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through (internal temperature of 160°F).

Step 6

At the same time, grill the vegetables for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred.

Step 7

While the sausages and vegetables cook, make the herb drizzle by combining the chopped parsley and lemon juice in a small bowl.

Step 8

Remove the sausages and vegetables from the grill. Arrange them on a large serving platter.

Step 9

Drizzle the parsley and lemon mixture over the entire dish for a fresh, zesty finish.

Step 10

Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, such as cornbread or coleslaw, for a true Southern-style feast.
