BACON-WRAPPED PINAPPLE INGREDIENTS

Bacon-Wrapped Pineapple raw ingredients that are labeled

You’ll need:

1 pound bacon, cut in half
Fresh pineapple cut into 28 (1-inch) chunks
½ cup barbecue sauce

PRO TIP:

Thick-cut bacon is not recommended for this recipe. It would take too long to cook through the bacon slices completely.

SUBSTITUTIONS AND ADDITIONS

PINEAPPLE: You can substitute fresh pineapple for canned pineapple pieces in this easy recipe.

HOW TO MAKE THIS BACON-WRAPPED PINEAPPLE RECIPE

PRO TIP:

You can make these with a toothpick inserted through the pieces of bacon and the chunk of pineapple. This will keep the bundles together and make it easier for guests to pick up their appetizers.

STEP ONE: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray. Set it aside.

PRO TIP:

You can also roll the uncooked bacon-wrapped pineapple in brown sugar before cooking.

STEP TWO: Roll a piece of pineapple up in a sliced piece of bacon. Set it on the lined baking sheet. Space the bacon-wrapped pineapple 2 inches apart.

PRO TIP:

Make sure to place it with the ends of the bacon strips on the bottom, so it doesn’t come undone.

IN THE FREEZER: We do not recommend freezing this recipe.

A slice of bacon wrapped around anything is a huge hit in my book, and these bacon-wrapped pineapple bites are no exception. The tangy pineapple is the perfect complement to the salty bacon, and they make such a great appetizer when you have company.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Which bacon is best for these bacon-wrapped pineapple bites?

For this recipe, a thinner cut of bacon is best. Thick-cut bacon will take longer to get crispy, and you might not be able to taste the pineapple as much due to there being more bacon per bite.

Can you use canned pineapple for these bacon-wrapped pineapple bites?

Either canned or fresh pineapple would be delicious for this appetizer.

Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

This is a great recipe to make in advance, and just pop in the oven to bake just before you are ready to serve.
