Prep the Sausages
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place sausages on a parchment-lined baking tray and brush lightly with olive oil.
- Bake for 15 minutes, turning halfway to get even browning.
Make the Honey Garlic Glaze
While the sausages roast:
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in honey, soy sauce, brown sugar (if using), and chili flakes.
- Simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
Glaze and Finish Baking
- Remove sausages from the oven after the first 15 minutes.
- Pour the glaze over the sausages, tossing to coat well.
- Return to the oven and bake for another 10–15 minutes, turning once so the glaze caramelizes evenly.
Serve
- Garnish with fresh parsley or chives.
- Serve hot with toothpicks for appetizers or alongside mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, or rice for a main meal.
Pro Tips
- For stickier sausages, broil for the last 2–3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
- Use smoked sausages for a deeper flavor.
- Swap honey for maple syrup for a fall twist.
- Add a splash of balsamic vinegar to the glaze for tang.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve as party bites with mustard on the side.
- Pair with buttered garlic bread for a hearty dinner.
- Slice and toss into a stir-fry or pasta for a quick upgrade.
