Ingredients
- Chorizo sausage
- 12 ounces, sliced into thick rounds
- Fresh green beans
- 1 pound, trimmed
- Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons
- Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon
- Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Lemon wedges
- for serving
- Wooden skewers
- 8-10, soaked in water for 30 minutes
Instructions
- Preheat your grill or oven to medium-high heat (about 400°F or 200°C).
- In a large bowl, combine the trimmed green beans, olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the green beans are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Carefully thread the green beans and chorizo slices onto the soaked wooden skewers, alternating between the two to create a balanced and visually appealing presentation.
- Place the skewers on the grill or on a baking sheet if using the oven. Grill or roast for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the green beans are tender and slightly charred, and the chorizo is heated through.
- Once cooked, remove the skewers from the grill or oven and allow them to rest for a minute. Serve the skewers hot with lemon wedges for squeezing over the top.
Tips
- For a spicier kick, consider using spicy chorizo or adding a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes to the green beans.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or cherry tomatoes to the skewers for a colorful variety.
- These skewers can also be made ahead of time; just marinate the green beans and chorizo and keep them refrigerated until you're ready to grill.
