Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
- 10 slices bacon strips
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 20 pieces toothpicks
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a wire rack.
Cut each bacon strip in half, creating 20 smaller pieces of bacon.
Wrap each pineapple chunk with half a strip of bacon and secure it with a toothpick.
Place the wrapped pineapple chunks seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, soy sauce, and ground black pepper (if using) to create a glaze.
Brush the glaze generously over each bacon-wrapped pineapple chunk.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized.
Remove from the oven and allow the appetizers to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a delicious, sweet-and-savory appetizer.
