Oven Baked Glazed Honey Garlic Sausages

Ingredients

1.5 pounds pork sausages (Italian, Bratwurst, or Polish kielbasa work well)
1/4 cup honey
3 tablespoons soy sauce (low sodium preferred)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
Sesame seeds and chopped green onions, for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. (5 minutes)
2. Place the sausages on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they aren’t overcrowded. (2 minutes)
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, ground ginger, and red pepper flakes (if using). (3 minutes)
4. In a small bowl, create a slurry by combining the cornstarch with the water, mixing until smooth. Add this slurry to the honey-garlic mixture and whisk until well combined. (2 minutes)
5. Pour the glaze evenly over the sausages, ensuring they are well coated. (2 minutes)
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping the sausages halfway through, until they are cooked through and the glaze is bubbly and caramelized. The internal temperature of the sausages should reach 160°F (71°C). (20-25 minutes)
7. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before garnishing with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. (5 minutes)

Pro tip
For a deeper flavor, marinate the sausages in half of the glaze for at least 30 minutes before baking.
