Ingredients:
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.
