Description
Get ready to tantalize your taste buds with these Irresistible Mustard Hasselback Kielbasa Bites! This mouthwatering recipe takes the classic kielbasa sausage and transforms it into a delightful, bite-sized appetizer that’s sure to impress. The key? A rich, mustard-based glaze that infuses each slice with an irresistible flavor.
Ingredients
1 pound kielbasa sausage, sliced into 1-inch thick rounds
2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
1. 1. Prepare the Kielbasa: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Using a sharp knife, slice the kielbasa into 1-inch thick rounds, being careful not to cut all the way through. You want to create a Hasselback-style cut, with the slices remaining attached at the bottom.
2. 2. Make the Mustard Glaze: In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, olive oil, honey, garlic powder, and paprika until well combined.
3. 3. Bake the Kielbasa Bites: Arrange the sliced kielbasa on a baking sheet, making sure the slices are slightly fanned out. Generously brush the mustard glaze over the top and sides of each kielbasa bite. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the kielbasa is heated through and the glaze is bubbling.
4. 4. Finish and Serve: Remove the Irresistible Mustard Hasselback Kielbasa Bites from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
To ensure your Irresistible Mustard Hasselback Kielbasa Bites turn out perfectly every time, here are a few tips to keep in mind:
– Slice Evenly: Take your time when slicing the kielbasa to ensure the cuts are uniform, allowing for even baking and glazing.
– Adjust Spice Level: If you prefer a milder flavor, start with less garlic powder and paprika. For a bolder taste, increase the amounts to your liking.
– Pair with Complementary Sides: These Irresistible Mustard Hasselback Kielbasa Bites pair beautifully with sides like coleslaw, mashed potatoes, or a fresh green salad.
– Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Arrange the kielbasa bites in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure even cooking and crisping.
