03 - Whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, Dijon mustard, black pepper, smoked paprika, and salt in a small bowl until well combined.
04 - Drizzle the honey garlic sauce evenly over the sausage and vegetables. Toss gently to coat everything thoroughly.
05 - Arrange coated ingredients back into a single, even layer on the pan for consistent cooking.

# Expert advice:

01 -
  • The glaze creates these sticky caramelized edges on the sausage that I genuinely crave now
  • Everything cooks on one pan which means I'm not staring at a sink full of dishes afterward
  • The vegetables get tender and sweet while the kielbasa gets this irresistible crisp exterior
02 -
  • Don't skip stirring halfway through or the honey will burn in spots while other vegetables stay undercooked
  • Lining your pan with parchment is non negotiable unless you enjoy scrubbing baked on honey glaze for twenty minutes
  • The glaze will be thin going in but it thickens and clings to everything as it roasts
03 -
  • Check your kielbasa label if gluten is a concern, not all brands are safe
  • Sprinkle red pepper flakes over the pan before roasting if you want some heat
  • Let the pan sit for about 5 minutes after roasting so the glaze can set slightly
