**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Slice the kielbasa into bite-sized pieces and make thin, deep cuts across each piece, being careful not to slice all the way through.
3. In a bowl, mix maple syrup with BBQ sauce (and optional spices).
4. Brush the sauce generously over the kielbasa pieces, making sure some sauce seeps into the cuts.
5. Arrange on a baking tray and bake for about 20 minutes, until the kielbasa is cooked through and the sauce is caramelized and sticky.
6. Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs or chopped green onions if desired.
