Delicious Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnuts Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 1 cup water chestnuts, whole (Canned or fresh)
  • 8 slices bacon (Thinly sliced)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (Packed)
  • 1 cup soy sauce (Low sodium recommended)

Instructions

7 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
  2. Wrap the Water Chestnuts

    Wrap each water chestnut with a slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick.

    Make sure the bacon overlaps slightly to prevent unwrapping.
  3. Prepare the Sauce

    In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar and soy sauce until well combined.

    You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar.
  4. Arrange for Baking

    Place the wrapped water chestnuts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

    Space them out to ensure even cooking.
  5. Pour the Sauce

    Drizzle the brown sugar and soy sauce mixture over the wrapped water chestnuts.

    Make sure each piece gets a good coating.
  6. Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy.

    Check halfway through to ensure even browning.
  7. Cool and Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

    These are best served warm for optimal flavor.
