Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 1 lb kielbasa sausage
- 1/4 cup yellow mustard
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking dish by spraying it with nonstick spray to prevent the kielbasa bites from sticking.
- Slice Kielbasa: Slice the kielbasa into bite-sized pieces, making cuts almost all the way through but leaving the base connected, creating a Hasselback effect.
- Prepare Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together the yellow mustard, brown sugar, garlic powder, and paprika until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Brush Sauce: Generously brush the prepared mustard sauce over each sliced kielbasa piece, making sure the sauce seeps into the cuts for maximum flavor.
- Bake: Place the kielbasa bites in the prepared baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes or until they turn golden brown and start sizzling.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the bites hot, using toothpicks for easy eating or alongside your favorite dipping sauces.
Notes
- Make sure not to cut all the way through the kielbasa slices; leaving the base intact helps the bites hold together while cooking.
- Adjust the amount of brown sugar for a sweeter or less sweet glaze according to your preference.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture; they may lose their crispiness if left to sit too long.
- These bites pair well with mustard-based or creamy dipping sauces for extra flavor.
- Use nonstick spray or line the baking dish with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
