Air Fryer Mustard and Maple Kielbasa Bites
Super Bowl is coming and you NEEEEED these on your appetizer menu!
These are crazy simple, mainly because they use our favorite kitchen appliance- the air fryer. But also because the sauce we use to coat the kielbasa bites in is also the base of the dipping sauce. A twofer! The graininess of the mustard combined with the sweetness and stickiness of the maple syrup makes an unmatched combo. These are a poor man’s burnt ends, and daaaaang are they good. By the way, don’t even attempt to only use one kielbasa. They’ll be gone in 20 seconds. Enjoy, my friends, and come back to the comments to tell us how yummy they are.
