Ingredients
- 1 lb kielbasa sausage
- 1/4 cup yellow mustard
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
- Prepare kielbasa: Slice the kielbasa crosswise into bite-sized pieces without cutting all the way through, creating pockets that will hold the flavorful glaze.
- Make mustard glaze: In a bowl, combine yellow mustard, honey, and smoked paprika. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Apply glaze: Generously brush the prepared mustard mixture over the kielbasa bites, making sure each piece is well coated.
- Bake: Arrange the kielbasa bites in the greased baking dish in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the bites are golden brown and slightly caramelized.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness before serving immediately.
Notes
- You can use either smoked or regular kielbasa depending on your flavor preference.
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the mustard glaze.
- Serve with toothpicks for easy appetizer-style eating.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
