Ingredients

• 1 pound smoked sausage
• 1 cup honey
• 1 cup mustard
• 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 stalks green onions
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 12 toothpicks

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your grill or smoker to medium heat (about 350°F).

2. 2

   While the grill is heating, slice the smoked sausage into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1-inch thick.

3. 3

   In a medium bowl, combine honey, mustard, apple cider vinegar, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Whisk until smooth to create the glaze.

5. 5

   Thread each sausage piece onto a toothpick, about 3 pieces per toothpick.

6. 6

   Place the sausage bites on the preheated grill or smoker. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are heated through and have grill marks.

7. 7

   During the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, brush the honey mustard glaze generously over the sausage bites.

8. 8

   Once cooked, remove the sausage bites from the grill and let them rest for a minute.

9. 9

   Chop the green onions finely for garnish.

    Serve the smoked sausage bites warm, garnished with chopped green onions and additional honey mustard glaze on the side.
