# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The honey garlic glaze caramelizes beautifully and coats every single piece
- Everything cooks in one pan so cleanup is practically nonexistent
- It works with whatever vegetables you have lingering in the crisper drawer
02 -
- The honey can burn quickly over high heat, so keep the temperature at medium once you add the sauce
- Leftovers reheat beautifully but add a splash of water to loosen the sauce before microwaving
03 -
- Cut your vegetables into similar sized pieces so they cook at the same rate
- Pat the kielbasa dry before slicing to get better browning in the pan
