bacon

🥗Healthier: turkey bacon

💰Cheaper: pork belly

Turkey bacon is lower in fat, while pork belly can be more affordable.

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.

Take a whole water chestnut and lay it down.

Wrap the water chestnut with thick cut bacon.

Cut the bacon to the appropriate length if necessary.

Skewer the wrapped water chestnut with a toothpick, ensuring to stab through the meat and not the fat.

Place the skewered water chestnuts on a pan, ensuring they are equally spaced apart.

Cook in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even browning.

Prepare scallion curls by soaking scallions in ice water to crisp them up.

Cut the green parts of the scallions into thin strips and place them in ice water to curl.

Once the bacon-wrapped water chestnuts are finished cooking, remove them from the oven and let them rest for a bit.

Plate the bacon-wrapped water chestnuts and remove the toothpicks carefully.

Drizzle homemade teriyaki sauce over the top and garnish with scallion curls.
