A quick and easy grilled bratwurst recipe paired with sweet, caramelized bell peppers and onions, perfect for cozy meals and backyard gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pork bratwurst sausages
  • 3 medium bell peppers (red, yellow, green), sliced into ½-inch strips
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or rosemary, finely chopped (optional)
  • 4 buns or rolls
  • Mustard or sauerkraut, for serving

Instructions

  1. Wash and slice the bell peppers into ½-inch strips. Peel and thinly slice the onion.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the peppers and onions with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and fresh thyme or rosemary if using. Set aside.
  3. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat, about 375°F (190°C). If using charcoal, wait until coals are covered with white ash.
  4. Place bratwurst links directly on the grill grates. Turn every 3-4 minutes using tongs to get even browning without piercing the skin. Grill for 12-15 minutes until golden-brown and juicy inside.
  5. Grill the peppers and onions in a grill basket or foil tray alongside the bratwurst for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until tender but still slightly crisp.
  6. Check bratwurst internal temperature to ensure it reaches 160°F (71°C).
  7. Optional: Toast buns cut-side down on the grill for 1-2 minutes until lightly crisp.
  8. Assemble bratwurst in buns, top with grilled peppers and onions, and add mustard or sauerkraut as desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Avoid piercing bratwurst with a fork to keep juices inside. Bring sausages to room temperature before grilling for even cooking. If nervous about raw pork, parboil bratwurst in beer or water for 5 minutes before grilling. For gluten-free, use almond or coconut flour buns or serve open-faced on greens. Toast buns on grill for added crunch.
