This Bacon-wrapped pineapple is the perfect mix of juicy fruit, salty bacon, and a touch of brown sugar sweetness.

Whether you’re throwing a party, hosting a family gathering, or just looking to treat yourself, these bite-sized delights will definitely hit the spot. Best of all? They’re easy to make and only take 50 minutes from start to finish!

How to Make Crispy Bacon-Wrapped Pineapple Bites

Ingredients you’ll need for this recipe
  • 22 chunks fresh or canned pineapple (about 1 to 1 ½ inches in size)
  • 11 slices of your favorite bacon
  • 1 cup brown sugar

Step by Step Guide

1. First things first, crank up your oven to 350°F. While it heats up, line a baking sheet with parchment paper to avoid a sticky mess.

2. Pour the brown sugar into a bowl.

3. Take your bacon strips and cut them in half. You want each piece to be the perfect size to wrap around a chunk of pineapple.

4. Grab a piece of pineapple, place it at one end of the bacon strip, and roll it up like a delicious little present. Once it’s snug, roll that baby in the brown sugar, coating it generously.

5. Slide a toothpick through the bacon-wrapped pineapple to keep everything in place. You don’t want your bacon unraveling in the oven!

6. Keep going with the rest of the bacon and pineapple chunks. It’s a little repetitive, but oh-so worth it.

7. If you’ve got some leftover brown sugar (and I bet you will), sprinkle it on top of your bacon-wrapped pineapple before baking.

8. Pop your baking sheet in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. The bacon will crisp up while the pineapple stays juicy and sweet.

9. Once they’re out of the oven, serve these treats warm for the best flavor. They’re perfect for snacking, appetizers, or even a fun dinner side dish.

Tips to Make Your Bacon-Wrapped Pineapple Even Better:

  • Pineapple choices: Fresh pineapple adds a little extra zing, but canned works just as well (and is a time-saver!).
  • Bacon options: We used turkey bacon in this recipe for a lighter option, but you can’t go wrong with regular bacon for an even richer flavor.
  • Mix up the sugar: Want an extra kick? Try adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to the brown sugar for a sweet-spicy combo.

And there you have it! These little bites of joy are guaranteed to be a hit at your next gathering—or even as a special treat just for you. Serve them up, watch them disappear, and enjoy the rave reviews!
