METHOD
Why It Works
Grilling caramelizes the sausage and peppers for smoky, charred flavor. A Cajun butter brush adds a glossy, seasoned finish right off the heat.

Vegetables
• 1 red bell pepper, cut into chunks
• 1 green bell pepper, cut into chunks
• 1 red onion, cut into chunks
Sauce
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
Seasoning
• 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
Topping
• lemon wedges, for serving

Heat the grill to medium-high and oil the grate.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before you start cooking.
No grill?
Roast them at 425°F or use a grill pan; you'll still get good color.
What sausage holds up best?
Pre-cooked andouille or smoked sausage skewers and grills well.
How do I serve them?
Over rice, with crusty bread, or alongside a crisp slaw.
Quick Fixes
Veg cooking unevenly: cut everything the same size.
Sticking to the grate: oil the grill and skewers first.
Want more char: leave them undisturbed between turns.
