Ingredients
2 lbs smoked sausages or bratwurst
1 large onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or sheet pan.
Prepare the Sausages
Slice the sausages into large bite-sized pieces, or leave them whole if preferred. Arrange them in the baking dish with the sliced onions.
Make the Honey Garlic Sauce
In a bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, olive oil, garlic, black pepper, and smoked paprika until smooth.
Coat Everything Well
Pour the sauce over the sausages and onions, tossing everything together to coat evenly.
Bake Until Golden
Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sausages are browned and the sauce becomes thick and sticky.
Serve & Enjoy
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot with rice, mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or crusty bread.
Tips
Add bell peppers or baby potatoes for a complete one-pan dinner.
For extra heat, stir in a pinch of chili flakes or a little hot sauce.
Leftovers reheat beautifully for quick lunches the next day.
