Description
Cowboy Butter Kielbasa and Potato Skewers combine smoky sausage, creamy baby potatoes, charred zucchini, and golden corn all glazed in a tangy, garlicky cowboy butter that crisps and caramelizes under heat. Perfect for grilling or oven-roasting, this hearty dish is a buttery, bold, and satisfying way to feed a crowd or just treat yourself on a chilly night.
Ingredients
0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 pound baby potatoes
1 pound kielbasa sausage, sliced into thick rounds
2 ears corn, cut into 1-inch rounds
2 medium zucchini, sliced into thick half moons
0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
0.5 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
Lemon wedges, for serving
Chopped parsley, for garnish
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 425°F or heat grill to medium-high.
2. Parboil baby potatoes in salted water for 10 minutes, then drain and let cool.
3. In a bowl, mix melted butter, garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, parsley, and red pepper flakes to make cowboy butter.
4. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes, kielbasa, corn, and zucchini with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a few tablespoons of cowboy butter.
5. Thread ingredients onto soaked wooden skewers or metal skewers, alternating for even cooking.
6. Place skewers on a lined sheet pan or grill. Roast or grill for 25–30 minutes, turning once halfway.
7. Halfway through cooking, brush skewers with more cowboy butter.
8. Remove when potatoes are golden, sausage is crispy, and corn is lightly browned.
9. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.
10. Serve with warm cowboy butter and lemon wedges. Sprinkle with parsley before serving.
Notes
Use real butter for the cowboy sauce—margarine won’t cut it.
Parboil the potatoes to ensure even roasting without burning the sausage or veggies.
For grilling, use metal skewers or soak wooden ones for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
