Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pineapple, peeled, cored, and cut into bite-sized chunks
- 1 pound bacon, each slice cut in half
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup hot sauce
- 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon pineapple juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a large rimmed baking sheet with a rack.
- Wrap each slice of bacon around a chunk of pineapple, securing it with a toothpick.
- Make the glaze by whisking together brown sugar, hot sauce, soy sauce, grated ginger, cayenne pepper, and pineapple juice in a small bowl.
- Coat each bacon-wrapped pineapple piece in the brown sugar mixture and spoon the glaze over them.
- Bake in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the sugar is caramelized.
- Cool for about 5 minutes and serve warm with toothpicks.
Notes
Using a rack helps the heat circulate around the bacon evenly for a crispier texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
