Tropical Delight: Sweet and Spicy Pineapple Bacon Skewers

Today’s Special: Sweet and Savory Pineapple Bacon Skewers

As the weather warms up, I find myself craving fresh, vibrant flavors that remind me of tropical getaways. That’s why I’m excited to share my latest creation with you all: Sweet and Savory Pineapple Bacon Skewers. This dish is perfect for a summer barbecue, a pool party, or just a cozy night at home. The combination of juicy pineapple, crispy bacon, and a hint of spice is sure to tantalize your taste buds.

To make these delectable skewers, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 1 small pineapple, cut into bite-sized chunks
• 6 slices of thick-cut bacon, cut into pieces
• 2 tablespoons of brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
• Pinch of salt

Before you get started, make sure you have the following kitchen tools on hand:

• cutting board
• knife
• skewers
• grill

Begin by preheating your grill to medium heat. While the grill is heating up, thread the pineapple chunks and bacon onto the skewers, alternating between the two ingredients. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt.

Once your skewers are assembled, sprinkle the spice mixture over them, ensuring each skewer is evenly coated. Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the bacon is crispy and the pineapple is caramelized.

As the skewers cook, you’ll be greeted by the irresistible aroma of sizzling bacon and sweet pineapple. The flavors will meld together, creating a mouthwatering combination of sweet, savory, and spicy. Once the skewers are done, remove them from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.

These Sweet and Savory Pineapple Bacon Skewers weigh approximately 400 grams in total and make 4 servings, with each serving weighing around 100 grams. Each serving is estimated to be around 250 calories.

For a unique twist on this dish, try marinating the pineapple in a mixture of honey, soy sauce, and lime juice before skewering them with the bacon. This will add an extra layer of flavor and complexity to the dish, making it even more unforgettable.

I hope you give these Sweet and Savory Pineapple Bacon Skewers a try and make them your own. Feel free to experiment with different spices, sauces, or additional ingredients to suit your taste preferences. Enjoy!
