For me, nothing represents summer more than a nice barbecue together with friends and family.
Is there anything better than barbecuing this time of the year when it’s hot outside?
I love to fire up the grill with both family and friends. Those times, it is extra fun to serve something unexpected. But first and foremost, something really tasty!
These small-sized bacon-wrapped pineapple bites are perfect as appetizers for backyard barbecues or parties.
Bacon is an unbeatable classic on barbecues and it doesn’t t hurt that the pineapple contains lots of healthy antioxidants.
What you need:
- 12 slices thick-cut bacon, halved
- 1 pineapple, cut into 24 (1 ½-inch) cubes
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Instructions:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Wrap the individual bacon halves around each cube of pineapple and lay onto the baking sheet, seam side down.
- Take a separate bowl and whisk the maple syrup and mustard together, until well combined.
- Brush each bacon-wrapped pineapple cube with the maple mustard, then spear each cube with a toothpick.
- Bake for 40 minutes, then remove it from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes to crisp up.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
This looks too good not to pay forward for everyone to see. I will definitely try this next time I’m hosting a barbecue party!
