Halloween Sausage & Pumpkin Skewers with Truly Irish Premium Sausages

Method
  1. Preheat the Oven
    Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Roast the Pumpkin
    Toss the pumpkin cubes in olive oil, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Spread them out on the baking tray and roast for about 20 minutes, or until tender and slightly golden. Set aside.
  3. Cook the Sausages
    While the pumpkin is roasting, cook the Truly Irish Premium Sausages in a pan over medium heat for about 10-12 minutes, until they’re golden and fully cooked. Allow them to cool slightly before cutting each sausage into 3 or 4 bite-sized pieces.
  4. Assemble the Skewers
    Thread the sausage pieces, roasted pumpkin cubes, onion wedges, and bell pepper chunks onto the skewers. Alternate the ingredients to create colorful, spooky skewers. If using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for 10 minutes to prevent burning.
  5. Grill or Bake the Skewers
    Brush the assembled skewers lightly with olive oil and place them on a grill or under the broiler for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are slightly charred and the sausages are heated through.
  6. Serve
    Garnish the skewers with fresh rosemary sprigs for an extra spooky presentation, resembling twigs. Serve with a side of your favorite dipping sauce like garlic aioli, barbecue sauce, or a spicy ketchup.

Tips:

  • For a real Halloween vibe, serve these skewers on a platter surrounded by pumpkin decorations or edible spider webs made from string cheese.
  • You can also swap out the vegetables for other seasonal favorites like zucchini or sweet potato!
