This bacon-wrapped avocado with brown sugar and chili powder is the perfect blend of flavors and textures. The creamy avocado balances beautifully with the crispy bacon and the hint of sweetness and spice, making it a crowd-pleaser for any occasion.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and peel off the skin.
- Cut each avocado half into approximately 5-6 slices, giving you around 10-12 slices in total.
- On a cutting board, lay each bacon strip flat and cut in half, making 10 shorter strips.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and chili powder. Mix well to create a sweet and spicy coating.
- Take one avocado slice and wrap it with a piece of the prepared bacon. Secure the bacon around the avocado by lightly pressing the ends together.
- Roll the bacon-wrapped avocado slice in the brown sugar and chili powder mixture, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
- Place the wrapped avocado slices on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced evenly apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the bacon-wrapped avocado slices cool for a few minutes.
- Serve warm as an appetizer or a delicious snack.
Tips:
- Choose a ripe yet firm avocado to ensure it holds its shape during the cooking process.
- For even cooking, use thin-cut bacon strips. If using thick-cut bacon, you may need to partially cook them before wrapping the avocado.
- To keep the wrapped avocado pieces secure, consider using toothpicks. Just remember to remove them before serving.
- For a spicier kick, increase the amount of chili powder or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil to make cleanup easier.
