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 your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, toss the halved or quartered baby potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Prick the sausage links with a fork a few times to prevent bursting, then place them alongside the potatoes on the baking sheet.
- Bake the Sausage and Potatoes: Roast in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, stirring the potatoes halfway through to ensure even browning. The sausages should be cooked through and the potatoes tender and golden.
- Make the Glaze: While the sausage and potatoes are roasting, whisk together the honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and ground black pepper in a small bowl until smooth and fully combined.
- Glaze and Caramelize: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and drizzle the prepared glaze over the sausage and potatoes. Toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.
- Finish Baking: Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 5–7 minutes. This step allows the glaze to caramelize, coating the sausages and potatoes beautifully.
- Serve: Serve the sweet and savory glazed sausage and potatoes hot. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for added color and flavor. Enjoy your hearty and flavorful meal!
Notes
- To ensure even cooking, try to cut the potatoes into similar sizes.
- Use gluten-free tamari instead of soy sauce to make the recipe gluten-free.
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan alternative, but adjust the diet label accordingly.
- Be careful not to overcook the sausages to prevent dryness.
- Fresh herbs like parsley or thyme add a nice touch as garnish.
