Bacon Water Chestnut Roll-Ups
Servings: 1 9x13 pan
Ingredients
- 1 can of whole water chestnuts cut in half — I found these water chestnuts with only two ingredients: water chestnuts and water, no preservatives. I wasn’t sure what water chestnuts were, so I looked it up — they're a vegetable. 🙂
- 1 package of bacon cut in half – preferably from a farmer you trust who raises animals out on pasture. (Find healthy meat here if you don't have a good local option.)
- 1 1/4 cup organic ketchup or try this homemade ketchup
- 1/2 cup palm sugar
- 2 1/2 Tablespoons fermented soy sauce/Tamari
Instructions
- Wrap a half piece of bacon around water chestnut halves and put a toothpick through it. Place in an ungreased 9×13 baking pan. Bake for 30 minutes at 375*. Meanwhile, stir the last three ingredients together to make a homemade barbecue sauce. Remove roll-ups from the pan and drain the grease out. Dip the roll-ups in sauce and place them back into the pan. Bake another 30 minutes.
- NOTE: These are easy to make ahead! You can do everything but the last 30 minutes of baking, and then keep them in the fridge until you’re ready to eat. Just take them wherever you’re going and bake that last 30 minutes so they’re fresh from the oven.
- We love these!
