Ingredients

• 16 pieces Canned whole water chestnuts
• 8 slices Bacon
• 0.5 cups Ketchup
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sriracha
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 16 Toothpicks
• 1 can Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat it with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

Drain the canned water chestnuts and pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.

Step 3

Cut each slice of bacon in half to create 16 shorter pieces. Wrap each piece of bacon around a water chestnut and secure with a toothpick.

Step 4

Place the bacon-wrapped water chestnuts on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Step 5

While the water chestnuts are baking, prepare the spicy ketchup glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, brown sugar, soy sauce, sriracha, and garlic powder until smooth.

Step 6

After the water chestnuts have baked for 15 minutes, remove them from the oven. Carefully brush each piece with the spicy ketchup glaze using a pastry brush.

Step 7

Return the bacon-wrapped water chestnuts to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the glaze is caramelized.

Step 8

Allow the appetizers to rest for 5 minutes before serving. Plate and enjoy your Spicy Ketchup Glazed Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnuts!
