Maple Glazed Kielbasa Bites

Maple Glazed Kielbasa Bites

If you need an easy appetizer that disappears fast, these Maple Glazed Kielbasa Bites are a great one to keep on hand. They’re sweet, savory, a little sticky, and full of flavor thanks to Graves pure maple syrup.

This is the kind of recipe that works just as well for holiday gatherings as it does for football weekends, family get-togethers, or a simple appetizer spread at home. It comes together quickly and uses simple ingredients, but still feels like something a little special.

Ingredients

• 2 packages kielbasa, sliced into bite-size rounds
• 1/2 cup Graves Pure Maple Syrup
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Add the sliced kielbasa to a large mixing bowl.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the Graves Pure Maple Syrup, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and black pepper.
4. Pour the glaze over the kielbasa and toss until evenly coated.
5. Spread the kielbasa in a single layer in a lightly greased baking dish or on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
6. Bake for 25–30 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until the glaze is bubbly and the kielbasa is lightly caramelized.
7. Serve warm with toothpicks or transfer to a small serving dish for easy snacking.

Tips

• For a little heat, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
• Want to make it easier for a party? Keep warm in a small slow cooker after baking.
• These pair well with cheese boards, crackers, and other savory appetizers.
