Sausage
Glaze
- 1/4 cup yellow mustard
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
Garnish
- Fresh parsley for garnish
- 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: Using a sharp knife, slice the kielbasa crosswise, making cuts that create pockets but do not cut all the way through; this allows the glaze to soak in during baking.
- Make Glaze: In a mixing bowl, combine the yellow mustard, honey, and smoked paprika; stir until you achieve a smooth, well-blended glaze.
- Apply Glaze: Generously brush the mustard mixture over each kielbasa slice, making sure to coat all the pockets for maximum flavor.
- Bake: Arrange the glazed kielbasa bites in the prepared baking dish evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the kielbasa is golden brown and caramelized.
- Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and garnish the kielbasa bites with freshly chopped parsley before serving for a fresh, vibrant touch.
Notes
- You can use spicy or smoked kielbasa for a different flavor profile.
- Serving these bites warm enhances their taste and texture.
- Try adding a sprinkle of grated cheese before baking for extra richness.
- This recipe is perfect for parties and pairs well with mustard dip or barbecue sauce.
