Ingredients
Here is the short list of what you will need for this super easy recipe
cherry tomatoes (one small container)
olive oil (I like using chipotle flavoured – gives it a zip! or tuscan herb flavoured but you can use plain) – around 1 TBSP _ I love buying my flavoured oil near the cottage at Southampton Olive Oil Company – you can order it online if you like too!
6 slices uncooked bacon
basil (fresh or dried) – around a teaspoon – chop fresh up very small if using fresh stuff
salt and pepper to taste
Super easy directions for bacon wrapped cherry tomatoes
Preheat oven to 375 F, prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Mix oil and seasonings in a bowl and toss tomatoes in it. Cut bacon in half lengthwise and then in thirds and wrap each tomato in a bacon securing with a toothpick.
Bake until the bacon is crisp (about 25 mins)
Admittedly this recipe for bacon wrapped cherry tomatoes is a bit fiddly… I mean the title of the recipe does imply that doesn’t it? But super tasty and keto friendly and would work great as an appetizer at a party.
