These Mustard Hasselback Kielbasa Bites are a flavorful and easy appetizer featuring succulent kielbasa sausage sliced to create pockets, brushed with a tangy honey mustard and smoked paprika glaze, then baked to golden perfection. Garnished with fresh parsley, they offer a perfect blend of smoky, sweet, and savory notes for gatherings or snacks.

Ingredients

Scale

Sausage

  • 1 lb kielbasa sausage

Glaze

  • 1/4 cup yellow mustard
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Kielbasa: Slice the kielbasa crosswise, making cuts without slicing all the way through so that each piece forms small pockets.
  3. Make Mustard Glaze: In a bowl, whisk together the yellow mustard, honey, and smoked paprika until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Coat Kielbasa: Generously brush the prepared mustard glaze all over the sliced kielbasa pieces, ensuring they are well covered.
  5. Bake: Arrange the glazed kielbasa bites evenly in the greased baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and slightly caramelized.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the kielbasa bites from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley before serving warm as a delicious appetizer or snack.

Notes

  • You can adjust the honey for desired sweetness or substitute with maple syrup for a different flavor.
  • Ensure not to cut all the way through the kielbasa to keep the slices intact for easy handling and better presentation.
  • Serve with toothpicks for easy appetizer-style eating at parties.
  • For a spicier variation, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the mustard glaze.
