Hasselback Kielbasa Bites Ingredients: 2 large Kielbasa sausages (about 1.5 pounds) 2 tbsp olive oil 2 tsp smoked paprika (optional for added flavor) Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste Chopped parsley or chives, for garnish Directions: Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare Kielbasa: Place each Kielbasa sausage on a cutting board. Make diagonal cuts every half-inch along each sausage, slicing almost but not completely through. Season Sausages: In a small bowl, combine olive oil and smoked paprika (if using). Brush each sausage with the oil mixture, ensuring even coverage. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Bake Kielbasa: Arrange the sausages on a baking tray and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and the sausages are cooked to your liking. Garnish and Serve: Remove the Kielbasa bites from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley or chives before serving for a touch of freshness.
