These Mustard Hasselback Kielbasa Bites are a flavorful appetizer featuring sliced kielbasa sausage baked with a tangy and sweet mustard glaze. The unique Hasselback slicing method allows the glaze to seep between the cuts, creating crispy caramelized edges and juicy, tender sausage bites perfect for entertaining or snacking.

Ingredients

Scale

Kielbasa Sausage

  • 1 package kielbasa sausage

Mustard Glaze

  • 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Garnish

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the kielbasa bites.
  2. Slice Kielbasa: Slice the kielbasa into 1-inch pieces, carefully making multiple cuts in each piece but leaving the bottom intact to create the signature Hasselback effect, which helps the glaze penetrate during baking.
  3. Prepare Mustard Glaze: In a small bowl, combine Dijon mustard, honey, whole grain mustard, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and garlic powder. Mix until smooth to create a flavorful glaze.
  4. Glaze Kielbasa Bites: Place the kielbasa slices on a lined baking sheet. Spoon the mustard glaze generously over each slice, ensuring the glaze seeps between the cuts for maximum flavor infusion.
  5. Bake: Bake the coated kielbasa bites in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes. Baste once or twice during baking with any extra glaze to enhance caramelization and achieve slightly crispy edges.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Once baked to a golden caramelized finish, remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve warm as a delicious appetizer or snack.

Notes

  • Leave the bottom of the kielbasa intact while slicing to maintain the structural ‘Hasselback’ look and to hold the glaze inside.
  • Basting the bites during baking helps to develop a rich caramelized exterior.
  • Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and for easier cleanup.
  • This recipe can be doubled for larger gatherings.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes to the glaze.
