Bacon Wrapped Sausages Ingredients
Please be sure to scroll down to the recipe card below for the complete details!
- Sausages: Use mini sausages, little smokies, cocktail sausages, or cut a regular sausage in thirds.
- Bacon: I use unsmoked bacon, but smoked is delicious, too.
- Maple syrup: Maple syrup helps to bind the coconut sugar for the best caramelized topping.
- Coconut sugar: Or brown sugar.
How to Make Bacon Wrapped Sausages
- Prepare: Halve the bacon slices and wrap one half around each sausage.
- Skewer the sausages: Add 5-6 sausages to each skewer.
- Final touches: Brush the sausages with maple syrup and sprinkle coconut sugar on top.
- Bake. Serve: Bake for 20 minutes until golden. Arrange on a serving platter. Garnish with chives.
Tips and Tricks
- Rest one end of the skewer on the edge of the baking dish when roasting or place the skewers on top of a rack for the crispiest results.
- Don’t skip the coconut sugar. The caramelized topping is everything!
- Optional: Rest the baked sausages on a piece of paper towel to drain any excess bacon fat before serving.
Possible Variations
- Bacon: Use smoked or unsmoked.
- Sausages: Try mini turkey, chicken, or chorizo sausages.
- Maple syrup: Swap for honey, agave, or date syrup. If you prefer your sausages less sweet, try using barbecue sauce, ketchup, mustard, or sriracha.
- Coconut sugar: Use brown sugar (light or dark) or omit.
- Add-ons: Garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, chili flakes, or even cinnamon.
