Maple BBQ Hasselback Kielbasa Bites

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make shallow cuts along the length of the kielbasa, about 1/2 inch apart, without cutting all the way through (this creates the “hasselback” effect).
3. In a bowl, whisk together maple syrup, BBQ sauce, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
4. Place kielbasa on the baking sheet and brush generously with the glaze.
5. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until cooked through and slightly caramelized.
6. Let cool slightly, then slice into bite-sized pieces and serve hot!

Spicy Variation:

Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce to the glaze for a spicy kick!
