Step-by-Step Instructions for Candied Kielbasa Bites
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking dish with aluminum foil.
  2. Slice the kielbasa into ½-inch rounds and arrange in a single layer on the baking dish.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine brown sugar, honey, ketchup, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Heat until smooth, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  4. Pour the glaze over the kielbasa rounds and stir gently to coat evenly.
  5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through for even cooking and caramelization.
  6. Allow to cool slightly before serving warm with toothpicks or over rice.
