Sausage and Pepper Skewers

MAKES: 16 appetizer-sized servings

COOK TIME: 25 Min

These no-grilling-required Sausage and Pepper Skewers bake up in a snap in our ovens as easy Italian-style appetizers. Pass around a platter of this colorful and flavorful party pleaser and get ready for raves.

What You'll Need

16 (6-inch) wooden or metal skewers (see Note)
1 pound Italian rope sausage, cut into 16 pieces
1 red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 8 strips
1 green bell pepper, seeded and cut into 8 strips
1 cup spaghetti sauce, warmed

What to Do

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place a piece of sausage in the natural curve of a pepper strip. Push skewer gently through one end of the pepper then the sausage then the other end of the pepper, with the pepper surrounding the sausage on three sides. Place on a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining peppers and sausage.
Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until sausage is no longer pink. Serve with warm spaghetti sauce for dipping.

Note

If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 15 to 20 minutes before skewering the food; this should keep the skewers from burning during cooking.
