Chicken Apple Sausage Skewers
These sweet-and-savory skewers combine smoky chicken apple sausage, crisp apples, and rosemary kissed veggies for a cozy, crowd-pleasing fall dish that's gluten free and easy to prep ahead.
Equipment
- mixing bowl
- knife
- cutting board
- baking sheet or grill
- skewers bamboo or metal
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken apple sausage, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 2 crisp apples (Honeycrisp or Pink Lady), cubed
- 1 red onion, cut into chunks
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- salt and black pepper to taste
- bamboo or metal skewers
- optional maple syrup for drizzling
- whole grain mustard for dipping (optional)
Instructions
- Cut sausage, apples, onion, and pepper into even pieces. If using bamboo skewers, soak in water for 10 minutes to prevent burning.
- In a large bowl, toss sausage and vegetables with olive oil, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Thread onto skewers, alternating ingredients for even cooking.
- Grill over medium heat for 10–12 minutes, turning occasionally, or roast at 400°F (200°C) for 18–20 minutes, flipping halfway through. They're done when sausage edges are browned and apples are tender.
- Optional: Drizzle with maple syrup just before serving or offer whole grain mustard on the side for dipping.
Notes
Use firm apples like Honeycrisp to avoid mushiness. For added flair, brush with maple syrup before roasting or grilling. Prep up to a day ahead for easy entertaining. These also freeze well uncooked for future meals.
