Step-by-Step Preparation

1. Preheat & Prep

Set the oven to 400°F.
Line a full-size sheet pan with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

2. Portion the Sausage

Cut each sausage link into quarters.
Slice each piece into ¼-inch sections, ensuring cuts go only ¾ of the way through to maintain structure.
Further cut into bite-sized portions for optimal presentation and easy serving.

3. Arrange for Even Cooking

Evenly distribute the sausage bites on the prepared sheet pan, ensuring space for consistent heat circulation.

4. Baste & Bake

Generously brush the sausage bites with Louisiana Pepper Exchange Tropical Habanero Sauce.
Bake for 10 minutes.

5. Flip & Finish

Turn each bite so the cut sides face up for better caramelization.
Brush with additional sauce if desired.
Bake for another 10 minutes, or until glazed and caramelized.

6. Serve & Hold for Service

Keep warm for service using hot holding trays or chafing dishes.
