Last night I made bacon-wrapped dates.  I made about 16.  My husband Shawn and I ate not only the 16 but an additional 10!  So addictive.  Tonight I decided to prepare a bacon-wrapped banana.  I think you could substitute the banana for plantain. 

These little hors d’oeuvres as so simple and fast to make.  A hand of bananas and a package of bacon will do the trick!

WHAT IS THE NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF PALEO BACON-WRAPPED BANANA?

Paleo Bacon-Wrapped Banana are fatty, salty, and just moderately sweet.  Not really, more creamy.

 

WHAT BEVERAGE HARMONIZES WITH PALEO BACON-WRAPPED BANANA? 

To create harmony on the palate you would need a non alcoholic wine sweeter than this sweet hors d’oeuvre celebrating banana.  That’s far too much sugar to consume at one time, the banana and the non-alc. Monitoring sugar intake is important because it helps prevent blood sugar spikes and crashes, reduces the risk of health issues like obesity and diabetes, and maintains overall well-being.  Choose hot tea.  You can always pair the flavours of the crumble with those in the tea. 

Here are five hot tea options that complement the flavors of bacon-wrapped bananas:

  1. Assam Tea: With its robust and malty flavor, Assam tea pairs well with the savory richness of bacon and the sweetness of bananas.

  2. Lapsang Souchong Tea: This smoky black tea has a unique flavor that can complement the smokiness of the bacon in the hors d’oeuvre.

  3. Masala Chai Tea: The warm spices in masala chai, such as cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves, can enhance the flavors of both the bacon and bananas.

  4. Oolong Tea: Oolong tea offers a balance of floral and fruity notes that can complement the sweetness of the bananas while providing a refreshing contrast to the savory bacon.

  5. Ginger Tea: The spicy and aromatic qualities of ginger tea can add a zesty kick to the flavor profile of the bacon-wrapped bananas, creating a delightful contrast.
