Pretty much anything tastes delicious with bacon, but bacon-wrapped water chestnuts are our favorite. What a texture! While dates or scallops often end up mushy, water chestnuts have a welcome crunch. This recipe is both sweet and salty from the sugar and coconut aminos.
Serves: 4–8
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 45 minutes
Ingredients:
2 8-ounce cans whole water chestnuts
Coconut aminos (or tamari)
1 pound bacon
1/4 cup coconut sugar
Avocado oil in an oil mister
Toothpicks
Paleo Bacon-Wrapped Water Chestnuts
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Step 2
Drain the water chestnuts, and return them to their cans. Add coconut aminos to the cans until the water chestnuts are covered. Soak them for 15 minutes.
Step 3
Cut the bacon strips in half lengthwise, and then in half again horizontally.
Step 4
Place the coconut sugar in a small dish. Remove the water chestnuts, one at a time, from the cans, and roll them in the coconut sugar. Then wrap each water chestnut with a piece of bacon. Secure the bacon with a toothpick.
Step 5
Spray a glass baking dish with avocado oil, and place the wrapped water chestnuts in the dish.
Step 6
