🥣 Step-by-Step: How to Make Honey Garlic Sausages
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C)
Line a baking dish or sheet pan with foil or parchment (for easy cleanup)
Step 2: Make the Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together:
Honey
Soy sauce
Olive oil
Minced garlic
Black pepper
✅ Pro Tip: Taste it — it should be sweet, salty, and garlicky — adjust if needed.
Step 3: Arrange & Coat
Place sausages in the dish, leaving space between them
Scatter sliced onions around the sausages
Pour the glaze evenly over everything
Use a spoon to coat each sausage
✅ Don’t stir yet — let the glaze do its work.
Step 4: Bake to Golden Perfection
Bake 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through
The sausages are done when:
Golden brown and caramelized
Internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C)
Onions are soft and slightly charred
✅ Why flip? Ensures even glazing and browning.
Step 5: Rest & Serve
Let rest 5 minutes — helps juices settle
Garnish with chopped parsley (if using)
Serve hot with:
Mashed potatoes
Rice or quinoa
Steamed veggies
Or crusty bread to soak up the sauce
Leftovers? Reheat in the oven or air fryer — never microwave (kills the crisp).
🧑🍳 Pro Tips for the Best Sausages Every Time
Use room-temperature sausages
Cooks more evenly
Don’t overcrowd the pan
Promotes browning, not steaming
Add a splash of water if glaze burns
Prevents scorching in hot ovens
Try chicken or turkey sausages
Lighter option with same flavor
Double the glaze for extra sauce
Great for drizzling over rice
Also, this dish freezes well — great for future meals.
