1 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)
Instructions

2. Place each kielbasa link between two wooden spoons or chopsticks and slice thinly across the top without cutting all the way through.
3. In a bowl, mix softened butter, Dijon mustard, whole grain mustard, garlic powder, and paprika into a smooth mustard-butter blend.
4. Gently spread the mustard butter between the slices using a small knife or spoon, then brush the rest over the top and sides.
5. Bake the kielbasa on the prepared sheet for 20 to 25 minutes, until edges are golden and sizzling.
6. Garnish with fresh parsley if using and serve immediately with extra mustard for dipping.
Notes
These bites are best served hot straight from the oven.
Use any combo of mustard to match your flavor preference.
To reheat, use an oven to preserve the crisp edges.
