Grilled Kielbasa & Vegetable Kabobs (Vegan)
These Kielbasa and Vegetable Kabobs are made with vegan sausage and a variety of veggies, dressed with a lip-smacking Dijon dressing for a quick and easy BBQ idea!
Kebab, shish kabob, dinner on a stick—no matter what you call them, they are quick, easy, and versatile!
Why We Love This Recipe!
These grilled vegan sausage kielbasa and vegetable kabobs pair perfectly with grilled corn on the cob and Healthy Baked Beans, Baked Vegan Mac & Cheese, Vegan Potato Salad, or Classic Vegan Coleslaw, making a terrific well-balanced lunch or dinner.
Kabobs can be grilled on both an indoor and outdoor grill. Skewers can be made ahead of time, wrapped up, and kept in the refrigerator for grilling later. When ready, throw them on the grill, and dinner is served in no time, about 15 – 30 minutes (depending on whether starting from scratch or pre-assembled).
Break out the grill, gather your ingredients, and let’s get started!
Ingredients You’ll Need
For this kielbasa recipe, you only need a few simple ingredients. Starting with the kielbasa, use any of your favorite vegan brands (as of now, I’m only aware of Tofurky making a kielbasa-style sausage).
Next, grab a zucchini or yellow squash, red and green peppers, and onion. We’ll finish the kabobs by brushing them with a peppery Dijon dressing which is made with olive oil, Dijon, and pepper.
It’s a simple and fairly classic vegan kabob recipe that I think you’ll love as much as I do!
How To Grill Kielbasa & Vegetable Kabobs
- Start your grill so it’s nice and hot when you’re ready.
- Soak your bamboo sticks in water for at least 10 – 30 minutes. This will help to keep them from charring; the longer they soak, the better.
- Prepare the vegan sausage by slicing it diagonally, about 1/3 of an inch. Cut the zucchini or squash into moon shapes, core and chop the bell peppers, and slice the onions. If the onion slices are too large, slice them in half horizontally.
- In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, Dijon, and pepper. Set aside. Bonus points if you use garlic-infused olive oil!
- Skewer the veggies, starting with the kielbasa, then the red pepper, onion, green pepper, and zucchini, and repeat until the end of the skewer.
- Brush the kabobs with Dijon mix and place on the grill for 10 – 12 minutes, turning once. Brush with oil mixture as needed during grilling.
That’s it, easy, breezy done!

I made these for a Kentucky Derby party. they turned our great! I overcooked the vegan keilbasa a bit, but they were still good! I sprinkled some Montreal Steak seasoning on the kabobs to give them a more spicy flavor
