Sweet & Sour Grilled Kebobs in Less Than 30-Minutes!

Cooking on the grill during summer is a regular thing around Lac du Nibiinaabe. I love it when those meals can be prepared in only minutes. And it’s a double bonus when those meals are guilt-free and figure-friendly. When that happens, life can’t get much better!

These guilt-free sweet and sour grilled kielbasa kabobs fill all those requirements.

About the Sauce:

We’ve included our go-to recipe for an easy homemade sweet and sour sauce to slather on them after grilling. Because the sauce elevates the kebobs for making the kielbasa and veggies taste over the top delicious. But if making sauce is not your thing, this awesome bottled sauce will make them just as good.

Involve the Family:

This is an excellent dinner for involving the whole family in the meal process. If you have kids at home, you can count on plenty of help to push everything onto the skewers. Of course, your husband will enjoy grilling the kebobs outdoors. And if it’s raining, these are still simple to make using a grill pan on the stove.

Make them Vegan

This recipe starts with the kielbasa, and you could certainly use any of your favorite vegan brands to make it a vegan dish. Among the kinds available, Tofurky makes a kielbasa-style sausage, and others make vegan sausages, though we haven’t personally tried either brand.

Parting Thoughts

In the end, any way you make these kebobs, be sure to plan on making enough for plenty of second helpings!

I'm so happy you're here,

I’ve always loved food. I’ve loved to think about it, write about it, and talk about it. Then suddenly, one day, everything I thought I knew about nourishing my body changed when I discovered I was celiac. So, I re-learned how to eat, cook, and navigate through life gluten-free – trusting God and His plan for me.

Gfree cooking, health, and wellness ARE now my life. And this little corner of the internet is where I share what I’ve learned – Where my passion IS to nourish everyday GfreeDeliciously!
