Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
- 10 slices Bacon strips
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 20 pieces Toothpicks
- as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Spray the foil lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
Cut each bacon slice in half to create 20 shorter strips.
Wrap each pineapple chunk with a half-slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick. Place the wrapped pieces seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground black pepper together.
Sprinkle the brown sugar mixture evenly over the bacon-wrapped pineapple bites.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even cooking.
Remove from the oven and let the bites cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as an appetizer or snack and enjoy the sweet and savory balance of flavors.
