Grilling for family and friends this summer? 🔥 Keep the heat out of the kitchen and grill up some sausage, veggie + pineapple skewers! Dinner is fun, healthy and delicious with this easy recipe – perfect for weekend get-togethers or busy weeknights.

BBQ Sausage, Veggie + Pineapple Skewers

There is something so satisfying about colorful food! Especially in the summertime, when we can make it easy, healthy and on the grill. During this heat wave, I am all about keeping the heat out of the kitchen. 

Need a little inspo for shaking up dinnertime? A quick, delicious meal is made simple in this 7-ingredient recipe. Prep in 15 minutes, then cook in 10 minutes. I love a 30-minute meal, don’t you? These grilled sausage skewers are a go-to for busy nights or a backyard summer bash. Serve them with a side of hot buttery rice, a cool potato salad, or Italian pasta salad.

You can even toss together a fresh veggie salad to serve alongside, too!

We love switching up the ingredients on our skewers. Want to ditch the bell peppers? Try chopped zucchini, squash, or even parboiled baby potatoes, mushrooms or grape/cherry tomatoes. Not into pineapple? Chopped peaches are a perfectly juicy summertime switch.

Let’s get you to the recipe and start cookin’!

What makes these skewers so good?

These BBQ skewers are the perfect combo of smoky, salty and sweet. Want dinner ready fast? You only need 7 ingredients and 15 minutes of prep. The combo of juicy sausage, tender veggies and charred pineapple is melt-in-your-mouth good. This is the BEST dinner for keeping heat out of the kitchen and enjoying al fresco on a summer night.

Can I prepare these skewers ahead?

Yes. Assemble your skewers (or, chop your ingredients and assemble later) up to one day ahead. Keep refrigerated in a resealable bag or covered container.

What other fruits/veggies can I use?

Want to skip pineapple? Swap it with chopped peaches, or omit fruit altogether. Add grape tomatoes, chopped zucchini or yellow squash, parboiled baby potatoes, and mushrooms in place of (or, in addition to) the bell peppers.

What are side dishes pair well?

Serve these skewers with hot buttery rice, a cool potato salad, or Italian pasta salad. We love a leafy veggie salad and crusty bread on the side, too!

How do I store leftover skewers?

Place leftover skewered meat and veggies in a resealable container. Refrigerate up to 3 days. Reheat on your stovetop skillet or in the microwave.
