Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 pieces Canned whole water chestnuts
- 8 slices Bacon
- 0.5 cups Ketchup
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 16 Toothpicks
- 1 can Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray.
Drain the canned water chestnuts and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Cut each slice of bacon in half to create 16 shorter pieces. Wrap each piece of bacon around a water chestnut and secure with a toothpick.
Place the bacon-wrapped water chestnuts on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
While the water chestnuts are baking, prepare the spicy ketchup glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, soy sauce, sriracha, and garlic powder until smooth.
After the water chestnuts have baked for 15 minutes, remove them from the oven. Carefully brush each piece with the spicy ketchup glaze using a pastry brush.
Return the bacon-wrapped water chestnuts to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the glaze is caramelized.
Allow the appetizers to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Plate and enjoy your Spicy Ketchup Glazed Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnuts!
