Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 14 oz beef kielbasa, sliced into chunks
  • 20 oz can pineapple chunks, juice reserved
  • 3 tbsp teriyaki sauce
  • 1 tbsp sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp pineapple juice (from canned pineapple)
  • Plain toothpicks

Instructions

  1. Soak toothpicks: Soak plain toothpicks in water for 20 minutes to prevent them from burning during baking.
  2. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  3. Assemble bites: Place sliced kielbasa pieces on the prepared baking sheet and top each piece with a chunk of pineapple.
  4. Prepare glaze: In a bowl, whisk together teriyaki sauce, sweet chili sauce, honey, and reserved pineapple juice until smooth to create a flavorful glaze.
  5. Glaze and skewer: Brush the glaze generously over the kielbasa and pineapple bites, then insert a soaked toothpick into each for easy serving.
  6. Bake the bites: Bake the bites in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until heated through and the glaze is caramelized and slightly sticky.
  7. Serve: Allow the bites to cool slightly before serving warm to guests as a delicious appetizer.

Notes

  • Soaking toothpicks prevents them from burning in the oven.
  • Using parchment paper makes cleanup much easier.
  • You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey in the glaze.
  • Make sure to reserve the pineapple juice for the glaze for added flavor.
  • These bites are best served warm for optimal taste and texture.
