Bacon Wrapped Pineapple Bites
Bacon Wrapped Pineapple Bites are a delightful combination of sweet and savory flavors, making them a perfect appetizer for any occasion. Here’s how you can make them:
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 fresh pineapple, cut into 1-inch chunks (about 24 pieces)
- 12 slices of bacon, cut in half
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- Toothpicks
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare Baking Sheet:Â Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This setup allows the bacon to cook evenly and become crispy.
- Wrap Pineapple:Â Take a pineapple chunk and wrap it with a half slice of bacon. Secure it with a toothpick to hold everything together.
- Coat with Brown Sugar:Â Roll each bacon-wrapped pineapple piece in brown sugar, ensuring it’s well coated.
- Arrange on Rack:Â Place the prepared pieces on the wire rack, ensuring they are evenly spaced.
- Bake:Â Put the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the sugar has caramelized. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Serve:Â Once done, let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Pineapple Options:Â Fresh pineapple is recommended for its superior flavor, but canned pineapple chunks can be used if drained and patted dry to remove excess moisture.
- Bacon Thickness:Â Regular or thick-cut bacon can be used. Thick-cut bacon may require a slightly longer cooking time to achieve desired crispiness.
- Variations:Â For an extra layer of flavor, consider brushing the bacon with barbecue sauce before baking or adding a sprinkle of cayenne pepper to the brown sugar for a sweet and spicy kick
