I really think using pretzel sticks as edible toothpicks in these bites is just completely genius. I love it! I think there are a million other appetizers I could do this with. And I will.
Anyway, these sausage bites are very good party starters. The sage really gives them a great taste when combined with the maple and mustard mixture.
These are simplicity at its finest, just what we need this time of year.
This recipe makes about 20-24 bites. It can easily be doubled or tripled for a crowd.
Preheat oven to 375o F. Cut sausage into 1″ slices. Place on a rimmed baking tray.
In a small bowl, combine maple syrup, mustard and sage.
Bake sausage for 8 minutes. Brush generously with maple glaze. Bake 8 minutes more or until sausage is heated through.
Use pretzel sticks as edible toothpicks to serve sausage slices.
