Ingredients
- Kielbasa (beef or pork)
- Dijon mustard (or whole grain or honey mustard)
- Olive oil (or avocado oil)
- Fresh parsley or chives (for garnish)
- Shredded cheese (optional, such as cheddar or gouda)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Kielbasa: Take your kielbasa and slice it into even pieces, about 1-inch thick, creating slits while leaving the bottom intact.
- Mix the Mustard Sauce: In a small bowl, combine your choice of mustard, a drizzle of olive oil, and any additional seasonings like garlic powder or paprika.
- Coat the Kielbasa: Place the sliced kielbasa on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush the mustard mixture generously over each piece.
- Bake: Pop the baking sheet into the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the kielbasa is heated through and the edges start to crisp up.
- Add Cheese (if desired): If you’re adding cheese, sprinkle it over the kielbasa bites about 5 minutes before they’re done baking.
- Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven, sprinkle fresh herbs on top for garnish, and serve immediately.
