1
Heat a grill to 400°F. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes prior to assembling kabobs.
2
Whisk all marinade ingredients in a mixing bowl until well combined. Add sausage, zucchini, peppadew peppers, apple, and red onion. Toss to coat.
3
Assemble skewers from the bottom up in the following order, leaving 2 inches on the bottom of the skewer and repeating the sequence once or until you’re 1 inch from the top. Follow the order: sausage, peppadew, red onion (3-layer pieces), zucchini, apple.
4
Grill kabobs until vegetables are tender and lightly charred, about 6 to 8 minutes, flipping halfway through.
5
Remove kabobs from grill and let rest for 2 minutes before serving with dipping sauce, over rice, or alongside a salad.
