# Directions:

01 - Whisk olive oil, smoked paprika, oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper together in a small bowl.
02 - In a large bowl, add sausage slices, bell pepper pieces, and onion chunks. Drizzle the marinade over and toss until evenly coated.
03 - Thread ingredients onto skewers alternating sausage, cheese, pepper, and onion, starting and ending with sausage for stability.
