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 ensure the kielbasa does not stick during baking.
- Prepare Kielbasa: Slice the kielbasa crosswise into bite-sized pieces without cutting all the way through, creating small pockets in each piece which will hold the mustard glaze.
- Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, combine the yellow mustard, honey, and smoked paprika, mixing until the ingredients form a smooth, even sauce.
- Glaze Kielbasa: Brush the mustard mixture generously over each kielbasa bite, making sure the sauce seeps into the pockets to maximize flavor.
- Bake: Arrange the kielbasa bites in the prepared baking dish in a single layer and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the bites are golden brown and slightly caramelized on top.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle fresh parsley over the bites for a pop of color and fresh herbaceous flavor before serving.
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of honey in the glaze to achieve your preferred level of sweetness.
- Try using spicy brown mustard instead of yellow mustard for an extra kick.
- These bites can be served warm or at room temperature, making them great for parties and gatherings.
- For a gluten-free version, ensure the kielbasa used is gluten-free as some brands may contain fillers.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and enjoyed within 2 days; reheat in the oven for best texture.
