Ingredients
  

1 pound kielbasa sausage

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons chipotle in adobo sauce (finely chopped)

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Olive oil (for drizzling)

Toothpicks (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    Slice the kielbasa into bite-sized pieces, about 1 inch thick. Make sure to stop about 1/4 inch from the bottom to keep the slices connected (this creates the Hasselback effect).

      In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chipotle in adobo sauce, lime juice, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Mix until smooth to create the chipotle aioli.

        Place the kielbasa pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper.

          Using a spoon, generously dollop the chipotle aioli mixture into the slits of each kielbasa piece.

            Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the kielbasa is heated through and slightly crispy on the edges.

              Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.

                Secure each kielbasa bite with a toothpick for easy serving.
