# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The balsamic marinade creates a sweet tangy glaze that caramelizes beautifully on the grill
  • These skewers come together in under 40 minutes but taste like you spent all day planning them
  • Everything cooks on one stick which means less cleanup and more time enjoying the evening
02 -
  • Soak wooden skewers for at least 30 minutes before using or they will burn and disintegrate on the grill
  • Do not crowd the skewers or the vegetables will steam instead of getting those beautiful char marks
  • Letting the sausages rest for a few minutes after grilling keeps them incredibly juicy
03 -
  • Preheat your skewers along with the grill to help sear the meat and vegetables immediately
  • If using spicy sausages reduce the smoked paprika slightly so the heat does not overpower the other flavors
