Print Recipe

These Sticky Sweet Sausage Bites are a crowd-pleasing appetizer made with just 5 main ingredients. Smoked sausage is tossed in a perfect blend of brown sugar, honey, and soy sauce, then baked until caramelized and irresistible.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound smoked sausage, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, honey, soy sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until smooth.
  3. Add the sausage pieces to the bowl and toss until every piece is thoroughly coated in the sauce.
  4. Spread the sausage bites in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they have space to caramelize.
  5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, tossing the pieces halfway through the cooking time.
  6. Remove from the oven when the sauce is bubbly and caramelized. Let cool for a few minutes before garnishing with fresh parsley and serving.

Notes

  • Line your pan with parchment paper or foil to prevent the sugar from sticking to the tray.
  • For a spicier version, increase the red pepper flakes to 1 teaspoon.
  • You can use kielbasa, andouille, or turkey sausage for this recipe.
  • Leftovers can be reheated in the oven or air fryer to maintain the sticky texture.
