Ingredients
- 16 oz vegan cocktail sausages
- 1 cup barbecue sauce (ensure it's vegan)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, maple syrup, sriracha sauce, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and water until well combined. Set the sauce aside.
Step 2
Heat a large non-stick skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the vegan cocktail sausages to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned on all sides.
Step 4
Pour the prepared sauce over the sausages in the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and gently stir to coat the sausages evenly with the sauce.
Step 5
Cover the skillet and let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sausages are heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
Step 6
Remove from heat and transfer the sweet and spicy little smokies to a serving dish.
Step 7
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm as an appetizer. Enjoy!
