Candied Kielbasa Bites Recipe
If you love sweet and savory snacks, this Candied Kielbasa Bites Recipe is perfect for you.
Ingredients
- 1 pound 450 g kielbasa sausage
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
Slice the Kielbasa
- Cut the kielbasa into 1-inch bite-sized pieces. Keep them even for even cooking.
Prepare the Glaze
- In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Heat the Pan
- Add butter to a frying pan. Melt on medium heat until bubbly and warm.
Cook the Sausage
- Add kielbasa slices. Cook for 5–6 minutes until slightly browned and edges get crisp.
Add the Glaze
- Pour glaze over the kielbasa. Stir well to coat each piece evenly with the sweet mixture.
Caramelize the Bites
- Cook another 5 minutes, stirring often. The glaze will thicken and caramelize around the sausage.
Check Doneness
- Make sure the kielbasa is cooked through. Glaze should be sticky but not burnt.
Serve Immediately
- Transfer bites to a serving dish. Optional: sprinkle with chopped parsley for color and flavor.
Enjoy Your Snack
- Eat warm for best flavor. These bites are perfect as finger food or an appetizer.
Notes
- Use fresh kielbasa for the best flavor.
- Cut slices evenly to ensure consistent cooking.
- Stir the glaze continuously to prevent burning.
- You can add a pinch of chili flakes for a spicy kick.
- Leftovers can be reheated gently on low heat.
