Ingredients
Sausage
- 1 lb kielbasa sausage
Glaze
- 1/4 cup yellow mustard
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
Garnish
- 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 even cooking.
- Prepare Kielbasa: Slice the kielbasa crosswise without cutting all the way through to create pockets. This allows the glaze to seep in and the sausage to fan out slightly as it cooks.
- Make Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together yellow mustard, honey, and smoked paprika until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Brush Glaze: Generously brush the prepared honey mustard mixture over the sliced kielbasa, making sure to get into the pockets for maximum flavor.
- 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 sausage is golden brown and caramelized around the edges.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and fresh flavor before serving.
Notes
- You can use spicy or smoked kielbasa depending on your flavor preference.
- Adjust the amount of honey if you prefer a sweeter glaze or a more tangy mustard flavor.
- These bites can be prepared ahead and baked just before serving for convenience.
- Serve with toothpicks or alongside your favorite dipping sauces for easy snacking.
