Notes
If you can find it, sweeter, chewier, candied pineapple is preferable to no-sugar-added dried pineapple, but both work. For faster prep, use kitchen shears to cut the pineapple into bite-size pieces.
Ingredients
- 8 thick slices of meaty bacon
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
3 cups (14 1/2 ounces) salted roasted cashews and/or peanuts
4 candied or dried pineapple rings, cut into 1/3-inch triangles
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Arrange the bacon in a single layer on a rack set over a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake until the bacon is chewy, edging on crisp, about 25 minutes. Drain on paper towels, and cut into 1/2-inch strips.
- In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, cayenne, and sesame seeds. Add the bacon, nuts, and pineapple; toss to coat.
- Spread on a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, stirring once, until the glaze is no longer sticky.
