Looking for a tasty yet healthy appetizer or snack that aligns with your Paleo diet? These Paleo bacon-wrapped pears with a maple glaze are the perfect choice. The sweetness of the pear pairs wonderfully with the savory, crispy bacon, creating a flavor explosion in every bite. Plus, they are incredibly easy to make!
Instructions:
- Wash the pears thoroughly, then cut each pear into quarters.
- Remove the core and seeds from each quarter with a small knife or a corer.
- Take a strip of bacon and start wrapping it around each pear quarter, beginning at one end and working towards the other. Secure the bacon with a toothpick if needed.
- Repeat this process until each pear quarter is wrapped.
- Place the bacon-wrapped pears on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced evenly to allow the bacon to crisp up.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the bacon is cooked through and nicely crisped.
- While the pears are baking, in a small saucepan over low heat, warm the maple syrup until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. This takes about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to burn the syrup.
- Once the bacon-wrapped pears are done baking, remove them from the oven and let cool slightly.
- Drizzle the warm maple glaze over the bacon-wrapped pears while they are still on the baking sheet or arrange them on a serving platter and then drizzle the glaze over them.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose ripe but firm pears to ensure they hold their shape during cooking.
- Use high-quality, nitrate-free bacon to keep the dish as healthy as possible.
- Make sure to secure the bacon with a toothpick to prevent it from unwrapping while baking.
- For an extra layer of flavor, you can add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the pears before wrapping them in bacon.
These Paleo bacon-wrapped pears with a maple glaze are not only delicious but also simple to prepare, making them a perfect addition to any gathering or a tasty treat for yourself.
