Candied Kielbasa Bites


  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x
  • Diet: None

Description

Savory kielbasa pieces are coated in a sweet and tangy glaze for an irresistible party appetizer.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds kielbasa sausage (sliced into ½-inch thick rounds)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (packed)
  • ½ cup honey
  • ¼ cup ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard (or yellow mustard if preferred)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for depth)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet or casserole dish with foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Slice the kielbasa into bite-sized rounds and arrange them in a single layer in the prepared dish.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, honey, ketchup, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Heat over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves and the sauce is smooth.
  4. Pour the glaze evenly over the kielbasa pieces, stirring or tossing lightly to ensure they’re well coated.
  5. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the sauce thickens and caramelizes onto the sausage.

Notes

Serve with toothpicks for easy snacking. Pairs well with a refreshing side salad or rice.
