For an easy grilling recipe, try making grilled brat kabobs.
These savory skewers are loaded with juicy bratwurst and colorful marinated vegetables.
Make them for summer barbecues, tailgate parties, or a quick weeknight meal.
My family is from Wisconsin, therefore I grew up eating delicious bratwurst. My friends and family love my slow cooker beer, brats, and onions recipe.
However, these healthy brat kabobs are a crowd pleaser too. The marinated vegetables are full of flavor and pair deliciously with the sausage.

How to make
Making grilled brat kabobs are super easy. Follow these simple steps:
- In a large bowl or ziplock bag, add yellow squash, zucchini, red onion, red bell pepper, and fresh mushrooms.
- In a small mixing bowl, mix olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. Salt and pepper to taste. Add marinade to vegetables and marinate for 4 or more hours.
- Alternatively thread brats and marinated vegetables on skewers.
- Grill for 15 to 20 minutes or until brats reach an internal temperature of 160°.
Tips for making the perfect kabob:
- If you are using wooden skewers, soak them in water before using or they will burn.
- Cut your vegetables in similar sizes to that they will cook evenly.
- Don't overstuff your skewers.
- Use dry herbs in marinade over fresh because the fresh herbs may burn when grilling.
