Ingredients
Servings
2468
8 smoked sausages
2 large onions, cut into thick wedges
4 garlic cloves, peeled
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, optional
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven: Heat to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the onions: Place the onion wedges and garlic cloves in a roasting tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika, and toss to coat.
3. Add the sausages: Arrange the sausages among the onions, leaving a little space between them so they brown evenly.
4. Make the smoky glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, honey, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard.
5. Glaze everything: Brush the sausages generously with the sauce and drizzle a little over the onions.
6. Roast: Bake for 25–35 minutes, turning the sausages halfway through. Brush with more glaze during the final 10 minutes for a glossy finish. Ensure the sausages are cooked through according to their packaging and safe internal temperature.
7. Caramelize: For extra color, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end, watching closely to prevent the glaze from burning.
8. Serve: Spoon the sticky onions and garlic around the sausages and drizzle the pan juices over everything. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Tips for the best flavor
For extra smokiness: Add a pinch of chipotle powder or smoked paprika.
For deeper caramelization: Spread the onions in a single layer and avoid overcrowding the pan.
For a spicy kick: Mix a little hot sauce into the glaze.
Serving ideas: Pair with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, crusty bread, or creamy mac and cheese.
