- In a bowl, combine kielbasa slices, brown sugar, and maple syrup.
- Toss gently to coat.
3. Bake to Perfection
- Spread in a single layer on baking sheet.
- Bake 15–18 minutes, until deeply caramelized and bubbling.
- Optional: Broil 1–2 minutes at the end for extra crispness (watch closely!).
4. Serve Warm
- Transfer to a serving bowl or platter.
- Provide toothpicks for easy grabbing.
- Best served warm—the glaze firms slightly as it cools.
Serving Suggestions
