During the fall and winter months one of my favorite meals to throw together is Roasted Kielbasa, Brussels Sprouts and Potatoes. It’s hearty, it’s filling but it also heats up the house. Heating up the house is good for winter, not so good when it’s 85 degrees outside and therefore 85 degrees inside as well. But, a couple of weeks ago the craving for Kielbasa and Brussels Sprouts struck so I decided to turn my favorite fall dish into these Grilled Brussels Sprouts and Kielbasa Kebabs.
Have you ever grilled brussels sprouts before? I hadn’t before I tried this but guys, it may be my new favorite way to eat them. I should note that I did boil them first but just for 5 minutes. Then after dunking them in an ice bath and patting them dry, I seasoned them simply with a little olive oil, salt and pepper before threading them on the skewers with the kielbasa.
Guys, grilled brussels sprouts are all kinds of delicious. Seriously. The leaves get this little crunchy char and oh my gosh are they tender on the inside.We loved them so much that I used more than the called for 15 brussels sprouts just so that I could make some brussels sprouts only kebabs. If you are one of those people that don’t think that you like brussels sprouts, I challenge you to give these a try, they just might surprise you.
In fact, I’m betting they will.

That is a perfect combination – like corned beef & cabbage, only more fun!
What a unique kebab combo! I’m all about the grill lately and can’t wait to try these!
Oh man, I wish I’d seen this when kielbasa was on sale here. I was picking one up weekly last month. I guess I’ll have to splurge to make this :)
I never would have thought of grilling brussel sprouts but I think it would add a great flavor from the grill. Yum!
I need to try grilling my brussels! Love them so much!
