These Air Fryer Baked Glazed Honey Garlic Sausages are an easy and tasty meal that you can make in less than 40 minutes. The sausages cook until juicy and golden, while the honey garlic sauce becomes thick, sticky, and full of flavour. Soft baked onions soak up the glaze and add extra sweetness to the dish.
This recipe is perfect for busy weeknights because it needs very little preparation and uses simple ingredients you may already have at home. You can serve these sausages with mashed potatoes, rice, roasted vegetables, or fresh bread for a complete and satisfying meal.
Ingredients for Honey Garlic Sausages
Servings: 4
- 8 pork or beef sausages
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) so it is hot and ready.
Step 2: Arrange the Sausages
Place the sausages in an air-fryer-safe baking dish or foil container.
Lay them in one single layer so they cook evenly.
Step 3: Make the Honey Garlic Glaze
- Honey
- Soy sauce
- Olive oil
- Minced garlic
- Black pepper
Step 4: Coat the Sausages
Pour the honey garlic sauce over the sausages.
Turn the sausages once or twice so they are fully covered in the glaze.
Step 5: Add Onions
Spread the sliced onions on and around the sausages.
The onions will soften and absorb the sauce while cooking.
Step 6: Air Fry
Place the dish in the preheated air fryer.
Cook for 25–30 minutes, turning the sausages halfway through.
The sausages are ready when:
- They look golden brown
- The sauce is thick and sticky
- Internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C) for pork or 165°F (74°C) for beef
Step 7: Rest and Garnish
Remove the sausages from the air fryer and let them rest for 3–5 minutes.
Sprinkle fresh parsley on top if using.
Step 8: Serve
- Mashed potatoes
- Steamed rice
- Roasted vegetables
- Fresh salad or crusty bread
Tips & Tricks
- Make ahead: You can prepare the sausages and sauce up to 12 hours in advance. Cover and store in the fridge, then cook when needed.
- Best sausages: Pork, beef, or chicken sausages work well. Avoid pre-cooked sausages, as they can dry out.
- Stovetop option: Brown sausages in a pan, add the sauce and onions, cover, and simmer for 15–20 minutes.
- Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer or microwave.
