Step-by-Step Instructions for Kielbasa Pineapple Bites

Soak wooden toothpicks in water for about 20 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Assemble the bites by skewering a piece of kielbasa followed by a chunk of pineapple on a toothpick.
In a mixing bowl, combine teriyaki sauce, sweet chili sauce, honey, and pineapple juice until smooth.
Coat each assembled bite generously with the glaze, avoiding glaze on the toothpick ends.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until heated through and lightly browned.
Serve warm, removing toothpicks if desired, or serve on toothpicks for easy eating.
