Ingredients
Scale
Sausage and Potatoes
- 1 pound sausage links (Italian sausage or your choice of sausage)
- 1 pound baby potatoes, halved or quartered
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Glaze
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Sausage and Potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure a hot environment for roasting. In a large bowl, toss the halved or quartered baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated to season the potatoes thoroughly.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Prick the sausages a few times with a fork to prevent bursting during cooking, then place them alongside the potatoes on the baking sheet.
- Bake the Sausage and Potatoes: Roast everything in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring the potatoes halfway through to promote even browning and cooking, until the sausages are cooked through and potatoes are golden and tender.
- Make the Glaze: While the roasting proceeds, whisk honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and ground black pepper together in a small bowl until smooth and well combined to prepare the flavorful glaze.
- Glaze the Sausage and Potatoes: Remove the baking sheet from the oven, drizzle the glaze over the sausages and potatoes, and toss gently to coat everything evenly.
- Caramelize the Glaze: Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize and coat the sausages and potatoes beautifully.
- Serve: Serve the glazed sausage and potatoes hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs such as parsley for an added burst of freshness and color. Enjoy your meal!
Notes
- Pricking the sausages before baking helps prevent them from bursting and losing juices.
- Stirring the potatoes halfway through roasting ensures even browning and cooking.
- Use tamari instead of soy sauce for a gluten-free version.
- Fresh herbs like parsley or thyme make a great garnish to enhance flavor and presentation.
- Adjust honey amount if you prefer a less sweet glaze.
