🛒 Ingredients (Serves 4)
-
8 pork or beef sausages
-
¼ cup honey
-
3 tablespoons soy sauce
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
4 garlic cloves, minced
-
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
-
½ teaspoon black pepper
-
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
🔪 Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or use a disposable foil tray for easy cleanup.
Step 2: Arrange the Sausages
Place the sausages in a single layer in the baking dish. Scatter the sliced onions evenly over the top.
Step 3: Make the Glaze
In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, olive oil, minced garlic, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 4: Pour and Bake
Pour the honey garlic glaze over the sausages, making sure everything is coated evenly. Bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping the sausages halfway through to caramelize both sides.
🔥 Pro Tip: For a more golden finish, broil for the last 2–3 minutes—but keep a close eye on them!
Step 5: Serve
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the glaze.
