- Place skewers on the hot grill, rotating occasionally until the sausage is heated through, the vegetables are softened and there are some slight grill marks.

what can i use instead of teriyaki sauce/glaze?
You can easily substitute teriyaki glaze with your favorite BBQ sauce! Just keep in mind that the sugar content in BBQ sauce varies. Sugar burns easily and can give food a bad flavor. You may need to adjust your cooking temperature depending on the sauce you choose.
