Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the sausages in a foil-lined baking tray, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, bourbon, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and black pepper until well combined.
Pour the maple bourbon mixture over the sausages, making sure they are well coated.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning the sausages halfway through, until they are cooked through and have a nice caramelized glaze.
For an extra charred finish, you can broil the sausages for an additional 2-3 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Variations & Tips
For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the glaze. If you’re cooking for kids or those who prefer milder flavors, you can substitute apple juice for the bourbon. For a vegetarian option, try using plant-based sausages and adjust the cooking time as needed. You can also experiment with different types of mustard or add a splash of Worcestershire sauce for extra depth of flavor.
