03 - Quarter teaspoon black pepper, freshly cracked

08 - 120 ml real maple syrup

# How to Make It:

01 - Let your kielbasa cool for a moment. Sprinkle on some parsley to jazz it up if you like, then dig in.
02 - Pop the tray into the hot oven for about half an hour. Brush with more glaze halfway through. Take it out when you see those crispy edges and it smells amazing.
03 - Lay the cut kielbasa pieces on your tray. Slather on plenty of the sticky sauce, getting into all those cuts you made.
04 - In a mixing bowl, stir together olive oil, black pepper, garlic powder, smoked paprika, Dijon mustard, barbecue sauce, and maple syrup. Mix until it looks smooth and glossy.
05 - Chop the kielbasa into pieces around 5 to 7 centimeters each. Put each between two spoons or chopsticks to help you slice little cuts along each one without chopping all the way through.
06 - Heat your oven to 200°C. Spread some parchment paper over your baking sheet so things don't stick.

# Additional Tips:

01 - Craving a bigger kick? Toss in a bit of cayenne or splash some hot sauce in your glaze mix. You can use bratwurst or Italian sausage here too. This goes great with polenta or crispy potatoes if you want it extra filling.
