Scale
Ingredients
- 12 slices bacon, cut in half
- 24 chunks pineapple
- 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for crispy bacon and perfectly cooked pineapple.
- Wrap Pineapple: Take each pineapple chunk and wrap it tightly with half a slice of bacon. Secure each bacon-wrapped piece with a toothpick to keep it intact during cooking. Arrange them on a baking sheet fitted with a baking rack, allowing heat to circulate for even cooking.
- Prepare Glaze: In a small bowl, combine the dark brown sugar and low sodium soy sauce. Stir well until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Glaze Pineapple Bites: Using a brush, coat each bacon-wrapped pineapple piece generously with the brown sugar and soy sauce glaze. This will add a delicious sweet and savory caramelized layer.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and golden brown, and the pineapple is heated through.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve these bites hot for the best experience. They can also be served cold if preferred.
- Enjoy: Enjoy these irresistible bacon wrapped pineapple bites as a perfect appetizer or snack at your next gathering.
Notes
- Using a baking rack allows excess bacon fat to drip off for crispier results.
- You can substitute low sodium soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos for gluten-free options.
- Adjust brown sugar quantity based on your desired sweetness level.
- To make prep easier, use pre-cut pineapple chunks from the store.
- Serve with toothpicks for easy eating at parties.
