Ingredients

2 (8 oz) cans whole water chestnuts, drained

1 1/4 cups soy sauce

1 tsp garlic powder

24 slices thick-cut bacon, cut in half

1 (15 oz) can pineapple chunks, drained

toothpicks

1 cup brown sugar

Directions

In a small bowl, combine water chestnuts, soy sauce, and garlic powder. Toss to coat; marinate for 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Drain water chestnuts; discard soy sauce. Place 1 pineapple chunk in center of each bacon half, then place 1 water chestnut on top. Fold ends of bacon over water chestnut; secure with a toothpick. Repeat with remaining pineapple, bacon, and water chestnuts.

Gently toss bacon-wrapped pineapple and water chestnuts in brown sugar in a bowl; place on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Flip pieces over and continue baking until bacon is cooked to your desired doneness, 15 to 35 minutes more.

Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain briefly. Serve hot.
