Ingredients:
1 pound kielbasa sausage
1/4 cup barbecue sauce
2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Pinch of salt
Chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the kielbasa sausage crosswise into bite-sized pieces, making sure not to cut all the way through. Leave the bottom intact so that the slices stay connected.
In a small bowl, whisk together the barbecue sauce, maple syrup, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt until well combined.
Place the sliced kielbasa sausage in a baking dish or on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the barbecue sauce mixture over the top of the kielbasa, making sure to get it in between the slices.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the kielbasa is cooked through and caramelized on the edges.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve the Maple BBQ Hasselback Kielbasa Bites warm as an appetizer or snack.
