Bacon Wrapped Pineapple Bites
Description
This recipe starts with cut pineapple chunks wrapped individually with bacon strips that have been partially cooked until starting to crisp. Wrapping ensures the pineapple remains juicy while the bacon crisps around it. After coating each bite with brown sugar, they are baked to develop a caramelized, glossy exterior. This method yields a sweet and savory morsel with a chewy and crisp bacon texture paired with the tropical juiciness of pineapple.
These bites are served warm and are ideal as finger food for parties or casual gatherings. They can be enjoyed immediately, offering a balance of smoky, sweet, and slightly tangy notes.
The recipe notes mention that using thicker bacon works best and both fresh or canned pineapple can be used. Leftovers can be stored airtight in the refrigerator for up to four days but are best served fresh for optimal bacon crispness.
Ingredients
- 1 pineapple cut into 1 inch pieces
- 12 lices Bacon
- 1 cup brown sugar
Supplies:
- Toothpicks
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Cut the bacon into thirds. Place the bacon on a baking sheet lined with foil and bake for 6 minutes flipping the bacon halfway through the cook time. Remove the bacon and allow it to cool to the touch.
- Then wrap each bacon around a piece of the pineapple and secure it to the pineapple with a toothpick.
- Dip each one in a shallow bowl of the brown sugar to coat it with the sugar.
- Place the pineapple on a baking sheet lined with foil and bake at 400 degrees F for 20-30 minutes (flipping them halfway through the cook time) until the bacon is cooked through and cripsy.
- Serve warm and then enjoy!
Notes
- Thicker bacon slices provide better texture when wrapping the pineapple.
- You may use either fresh pineapple or canned pineapple chunks for convenience.
- Serve the bites immediately after baking for maximum bacon crispiness and pineapple juiciness.
- Leftover bites can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
