Notes
- Grilling Vegetables - Whenever I grill vegetables that are too small I use a grill pan. It makes life less stressful. Depending on the size of your mini bell peppers. You might want to consider using a grill pan to grill them.
- Seasoning - I keep the seasoning simple and only use salt and pepper. You could add a sprinkle of garlic powder. If you like things spicy you can use a dash of red pepper flakes prior to grilling.
- Non-Stick Spray - Whenever I'm grilling, I always use non-stick cooking spray on my grill grates. This prevents my food from sticking to the grill grates.
- Score - If you are concerned about the sausage bursting while cooking. You can make a few score lines on each link.
- Rotating - Rotate the sausage links and sweet peppers a few times during the cooking process to prevent burning.
