# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The honey garlic glaze creates that perfect sticky coating that makes everything taste better than it has any right to
  • You can have dinner on the table in under 40 minutes with minimal cleanup
  • Its the kind of meal that looks impressive but is virtually foolproof
02 -
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when browning the kielbasa or it will steam instead of getting that nice golden crust
  • The sauce thickens quickly as it cools so serve immediately for the best texture
  • Vegetables continue cooking after you remove them from heat so slightly undercook them initially
03 -
  • Cut all vegetables to similar sizes so they cook evenly and nothing gets mushy before everything else is done
  • If your honey is solid warm it slightly in the microwave for 10 seconds to make it easier to whisk
