Print Recipe

A quick and easy recipe featuring crispy kielbasa cooked on a Blackstone griddle with smoky bell peppers and sweet caramelised onions, perfect for casual gatherings or weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450g) kielbasa sausage, preferably smoked
  • 2 medium bell peppers (red and yellow), sliced into strips
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin recommended)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • Small handful fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your Blackstone griddle to medium-high heat (about 5 minutes) until hot enough to sizzle the kielbasa.
  2. Slice the bell peppers into thin strips and the yellow onion into thin rings. Toss them in a mixing bowl with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika if using. Set aside.
  3. Slice the kielbasa into 1/2-inch (1.3 cm) thick rounds.
  4. Place the kielbasa slices on the griddle and cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes per side until edges are golden and crisp. Flip gently with tongs.
  5. Push the kielbasa to one side of the griddle. Add the peppers and onions to the empty space, spreading them out evenly. Stir occasionally and cook for 10-12 minutes until onions caramelise and peppers soften with slight char.
  6. Add the minced garlic during the last 2 minutes of cooking the vegetables to infuse flavor without burning.
  7. Mix the caramelised peppers and onions gently with the kielbasa slices and warm together for 1-2 minutes.
  8. Remove from heat, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

If onions start to stick or burn, lower heat and add a splash of water or broth to deglaze the griddle. Avoid overcrowding the griddle to keep kielbasa slices crispy. Add garlic late in cooking to prevent bitterness. Let kielbasa rest briefly after cooking to redistribute juices. Cast-iron skillet or heavy grill pan can substitute for Blackstone griddle.
