Before diving into the preparation of your Sweet & Savory Bacon-Wrapped Pineapple, it is essential to preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Preheating is a crucial step in achieving the ideal texture and flavor in your dish. When your oven reaches the correct temperature, it allows the bacon to crisp up nicely while ensuring the pineapple caramelizes beautifully, creating that delightful contrast of sweet and savory flavors. Failing to preheat can lead to uneven cooking and a less satisfying final product.

Ingredients
  

1 fresh pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into bite-sized chunks

12 slices of thick-cut bacon

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)

1 tablespoon honey

Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare Bacon: Slice the bacon strips in half. You will use half a slice for each pineapple chunk.

      Wrap Pineapple: Take a piece of pineapple and wrap a half slice of bacon around it, securing it with a toothpick. Repeat this process until all the pineapple chunks are wrapped.

        Coat with Sugar & Spice: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cayenne pepper (if using). Sprinkle this mixture generously over the bacon-wrapped pineapple pieces.

          Honey Drizzle: Drizzle honey over the wrapped pieces for extra sweetness and flavor.

            Bake: Place the bacon-wrapped pineapple pieces on the lined baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized.

              Cool & Serve: Once done, carefully remove them from the oven, let them cool for a few minutes, and then garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful balance of sweet and savory flavors!
