A delightful appetizer featuring sausages wrapped in crispy bacon and caramelized with a sweet glaze.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and helps the bacon crisp up nicely.
Cut each slice of bacon in half.
Using kitchen scissors can make cutting the bacon easier and more precise.
Wrap each sausage with a half slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
Ensure the bacon is wrapped tightly around the sausage for even cooking.
Place the bacon-wrapped sausages on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
Sprinkle the brown sugar and paprika evenly over the bacon-wrapped sausages.
Mixing the sugar and paprika beforehand ensures an even distribution.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the sugar is caramelized.
Check halfway through cooking to ensure even browning and prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Allowing the sausages to cool slightly makes them easier to handle and enhances the flavor.
