Ingredients
  

  • 2 rings (13.9 ounces each) Kielbasa
  • ¼ cup (62 g) course ground Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • parsley, chopped for garnish

Method
 

  1. Place the kielbasa between two chopsticks or skewers to avoid cutting all the way through, then slice into ¼-inch thick sections without cutting through completely.
  2. Cut the sliced kielbasa crosswise into approximately 1-inch pieces, each containing about three rings, to yield around 40 bite-sized portions.
  3. Combine Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl and split the mixture into two equal parts.
  4. Add mayonnaise to one half to create a creamy dipping sauce, stir well, and refrigerate until serving.
  5. Apply half of the plain mustard mixture over the kielbasa bites, making sure to reach between slices; reserve the remaining sauce for after cooking.
  6. Arrange the prepared kielbasa bites in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, working in batches if necessary.
  7. Cook the bites at 400°F for 7 to 9 minutes, shaking the basket halfway to promote even browning.
  8. Once cooked, transfer bites to a serving platter and brush them with the remaining mustard sauce.
  9. Optionally garnish with chopped parsley and serve these warm with the chilled mayo-based dipping sauce.

Notes

  • For oven preparation, heat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the prepared kielbasa bites on the sheet, brush them with mustard sauce, and bake for 18-20 minutes until they’re nicely browned. Serve with the dipping sauce for best results.
