"Don't say I didn't warn you—they disappear in seconds."
Bacon-wrapped pineapple bites are the ultimate "sweet meets salty" appetizer. They are incredibly easy to make, require very few ingredients, and are always the first thing to disappear at a party.
Here is how to make them perfectly.
Ingredients
• Fresh Pineapple: Cut into 1-inch chunks (canned chunks work too, just pat them very dry).
• Bacon: Use standard-cut bacon. Avoid "thick-cut" as it takes too long to crisp up and may leave the pineapple mushy.
• Brown Sugar: For tossing or sprinkling to create a caramelized glaze.
• Optional Kick: A pinch of cayenne pepper or a brush of BBQ sauce.
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep the Bacon: Slice each strip of bacon into thirds or halves (depending on the size of your pineapple chunks).
2. The Wrap: Wrap a piece of bacon around a pineapple chunk. Secure it by piercing a toothpick straight through the center.
3. The Coating: Roll the wrapped bite in a bowl of brown sugar until lightly coated.
4. Arrange: Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a wire rack set over a tray (the rack helps them get crispy on all sides).
5. Bake: Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes.
6. The Finish: Flip them halfway through. If you want them extra crispy, turn on the broiler for the last 2 minutes—just watch them closely so the sugar doesn't burn!
