Savory Mustard Hasselback Kielbasa Bites for Game Day feature smoked sausage sliced in the hasselback style and coated with a tangy mustard glaze. Roasted until golden and slightly crisp, these bite-sized pieces deliver smoky, sweet, and savory flavor in every slice.
2 pounds fully cooked kielbasa
1/3 cup whole-grain mustard
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons honey or brown sugar
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or thyme for garnish
Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice kielbasa crosswise at 1/2-inch intervals, cutting about three-quarters through each piece.
Place sliced kielbasa on the prepared baking sheet.
In a bowl, whisk together whole-grain mustard, Dijon mustard, honey or brown sugar, olive oil, garlic, smoked paprika, and black pepper.
Spoon the mustard mixture over the kielbasa, spreading it into each cut.
Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, basting halfway through with any glaze on the pan.
Broil for 2 to 3 minutes if deeper browning is desired.
Rest for 5 minutes, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve warm.
Use turkey kielbasa for a lighter option.
Adjust sweetness or spice according to preference.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to three days.
