Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 rings (13.9 ounces each) kielbasa
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1/4 cup (79g) maple syrup
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Kielbasa: Slice the kielbasa into 1/4-inch slices, about 2/3 of the way through. To avoid cutting all the way through, place the kielbasa between two chopsticks or skewers and cut down to the chopsticks.
- Slice and Coat: Cut the kielbasa crosswise into 1-inch bite-sized pieces, yielding about 40 bites for both rings. Place into a large bowl.
- Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the barbecue sauce, Dijon mustard, and maple syrup. Stir well to combine.
- Coat the Kielbasa: Pour 1/2 cup of the sauce over the kielbasa and toss to coat. Reserve the remaining sauce for after cooking.
- Air Fry: Arrange the kielbasa in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 400°F for 7-9 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking until browned.
- Finish and Serve: Remove the kielbasa from the air fryer and place on a platter or baking sheet. Drizzle or brush with the reserved maple barbecue sauce, tossing to coat. Garnish with parsley (optional). Serve warm with the remaining sauce.
