# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The honey garlic glaze hits that perfect spot between savory and sweet
- Everything cooks in one skillet so cleanup is practically nonexistent
02 -
- Do not overcrowd the pan or the vegetables will steam instead of getting those beautiful caramelized edges
- The sauce will seem thin at first but thickens beautifully in the final minutes of cooking
03 -
- Pat the kielbasa dry before slicing to help it brown better and release less grease into the pan
- Prep all your ingredients before starting because once you begin cooking everything moves fast
