Scale
- 1 large smoked kielbasa sausage (12–16 ounces)
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the kielbasa on a cutting board and make hasselback cuts about 1/4 inch apart, slicing almost all the way through but not completely.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together Dijon mustard, honey, brown sugar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and olive oil until smooth.
- Using a basting brush, generously coat the hasselback cuts and the surface of the kielbasa with the mustard glaze.
- Place the glazed kielbasa on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and caramelized.
- Remove from the oven, let cool for 2-3 minutes, slice into bite-sized pieces, and serve warm.
