Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces pitted prunes
- 12 slices bacon
- 24 pieces toothpicks
- 0.5 teaspoons optional: ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Cut each slice of bacon in half, so you have 24 shorter strips of bacon.
Take one pitted prune and wrap a half-slice of bacon around it. Secure the bacon in place by inserting a toothpick through the center.
Repeat this process with the remaining prunes and bacon until all are wrapped and secured.
Optional: Sprinkle a light dusting of ground black pepper over the wrapped prunes for an extra savory kick.
Arrange the bacon-wrapped prunes on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each one for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and golden brown. Turn them over halfway through cooking to ensure both sides are evenly cooked.
Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the prunes cool for a couple of minutes. Transfer them to a serving platter and serve warm.
Enjoy these sweet and savory bites as an appetizer or a party favorite!
