Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound (450g) your choice of sausages (e.g., Italian sausage, bratwurst, or chicken sausage)
- 1 large red bell pepper, sliced into strips
- 1 large green bell pepper, sliced into strips
- 1 medium yellow onion, sliced into rings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F (190°C). This ensures that the sausages get a nice sear without burning.
- While the grill heats, prepare the vegetables. In a large bowl, combine the sliced red and green bell peppers and the onion. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Toss until well-coated, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the mustard glaze ingredients: Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper. Set aside.
- Once the grill is preheated, place the sausages directly on the grill grates. Grill for about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally until they are browned and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F/70°C). Avoid overcooking as this can lead to dry sausages.
- After grilling the sausages for about 4 minutes, add the vegetable mixture to a grill basket or skewers. Grill the vegetables for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally until they are tender and slightly charred. You’ll know they’re done when they’re soft but still have a slight bite.
- During the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, brush the sausages with the mustard glaze, allowing it to caramelize slightly. This will give them a beautiful, sticky finish.
- Once everything is cooked, remove the sausages and vegetables from the grill. Let the sausages rest for a couple of minutes before slicing them into bite-sized pieces for serving.
- Serve the grilled sausages with the sautéed peppers and onions. Drizzle any remaining mustard glaze over the top for added flavor. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.

Keywords: Choose sausages with a bit of fat; they’ll retain moisture while cooking. A good grill thermometer can make a significant difference in cooking times; it ensures your sausages are perfectly cooked without being dry.
