Bacon Wrapped Water Chestnuts

Hi. 

Are you ready for Friday yet?

Are you nervous about Friday? You know, the beverages, the snacks, just the usual FriYay stuff that comes in to play ... 75% of my standard FriYay stuff is NOT Whole30 compliant ... 

BUT

These little things ARE!  Sweet!

Here you go:

2 cans of WHOLE water chestnuts (not the sliced ones!) 
1 pkg of bacon 
toothpicks

Grab a large baking sheet and lay out a large piece of parchment paper over it. Turn oven on to 375 degrees. I think I may have fallen over that Amazon sells Kirkland's parchment paper (Costco)??!!

Drain the water chestnuts and dump them out on the cutting board (or plate, whatever).  Open your bacon and cut it in half.

Wrap each water chestnut in bacon, as tight as you can, secure with a toothpick pierced all the way through.  Toss the bacon wrapped nuts on to the baking sheet and spread out to give a little room between them.

*Yes, I do stand mine up but it's not a requirement*

Bake for 15 minutes or til the bacon is cooked to your liking. Yes, you can burn these so keep an eye on them ;-)

I serve mine naked. I know a lot of people make these and then douse them with bbq sauce or some other glaze (teriyaki sauce?) which is fine and dandy, but for me, I like them just bacon and water chestnutty ;-)

Enjoy! 

Looking forward to sharing with some of these GREAT Parties ... go check them out!
