Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pack of smoked kielbasa sausage
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Pinch of garlic powder
- Pinch of ground black pepper
- Optional: Fresh parsley, chopped finely
Instructions
- Slice the kielbasa into ½-inch thick rounds.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together brown sugar, Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper to make the glaze.
- Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil.
- Place the kielbasa slices in the skillet in a single layer and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned.
- Reduce the heat to low and pour the glaze over the cooked kielbasa. Stir gently to coat all pieces evenly.
- Let the kielbasa simmer in the glaze for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens and becomes sticky.
- Transfer the glazed kielbasa bites to a serving plate and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm.
