Pineapple Hasselback Kielbasa Bites
Report
Pineapple Hasselback Kielbasa Bites combine the smoky and savory taste of kielbasa with the sweetness of pineapple for a flavorful appetizer or snack. The hasselback technique of slicing, but not all the way through, lets all of the delicious flavors of the sauce get into the sausage and in every bite-sized section!

Ingredients
- 2 rings (13.9 ounces each) kielbasa
- 1 can (20 ounces) pineapple chunks, ½ cup juice reserved, drain the rest
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar
- Parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- Slice the kielbasa into ¼-inch slices (about ⅔ of the way down), but not all the way through. If needed, place the kielbasa between two chopsticks and skewers. (These will prevent you from cutting through the kielbasa completely.) Using a sharp knife, slice in a downward motion, stopping at the chopsticks.
- Slice the sausage crosswise into 1-inch bite-sized pieces (about 3-4 rings per piece) for a total of about 20 bites per ring, or 40 for both rings. Place the bites and pineapple chunks into a large bowl.
- In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup pineapple juice, molasses, and brown sugar.
- Pour the sauce over the kielbasa bites and pineapple chunks. Gently toss the kielbasa bites to ensure the sauce coats each piece evenly, getting into the cut sections of the kielbasa.
- Arrange the kielbasa bites and pineapple in a single layer in the basket of your air fryer. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to work in batches.
- Air fry* at 400°F for 7-9 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking, until the kielbasa and pineapple are browned and heated through.
- Remove the kielbasa and pineapple from the air fryer and set them on a large platter.
- Garnish with parsley (optional) and serve warm.
Notes
- *Oven Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Kielbasa bites as instructed. Then, place each section onto the lined baking sheet.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the kielbasa is browned.
- Serve garnished with parsley.
