Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ripe bartlett pears ((I used the yellow variety))
- 5 to 6 pieces of uncured grassfed beef bacon ((You could also try uncured turkey bacon))
- 2 tbsp. of olive oil
- Sea salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 F.
- Quarter the pears and remove the stem and seeds. Then cut each quarter in half. You should have 16 wedges total.
- Using kitchen scissors, cut your bacon into thirds lengthwise. You should have long, thin strips.
- Gently wrap each wedge of pear with one of the cut pieces of bacon, tucking the end underneath an area where the bacon has already been wrapped around the pear. Continue doing this for all 16 wedges.
- Place the wedges in an oven safe baking dish and drizzle with olive oil.
- Lightly dust the pears with sea salt and pepper to taste.
- Roast the pears in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes until the bacon is cooked through and slightly crispy and the pears are lightly browned.
- Serve as an appetizer or snack or as part of my Sweet and Savory Fall Salad.
