Ingredients

  • 6 links Italian sausages
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment for easy cleanup.

  2. 2

    In a small bowl, whisk together the 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp Dijon mustard, 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper until smooth.

  3. 3

    Place the 6 sausages on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them. Brush the glaze generously over each sausage, coating all sides.

  4. 4

    Roast the sausages for 15 minutes, then flip them and brush with any remaining glaze. Continue roasting until the skins are deeply browned and charred in spots, about 10-15 more minutes.

  5. 5

    If you want extra char, switch the oven to broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching closely so they don't burn. The sausages should feel firm and register 160°F (71°C) inside.

  6. 6

    Let the sausages rest for 5 minutes before serving. They'll be juicy inside with a crisp, caramelized exterior.
