HEALTHY (PALEO) BACON-WRAPPED BANANA
I think you will LOVE these Paleo Bacon-Wrapped Banana!
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?
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:
Assam Tea: With its robust and malty flavor, Assam tea pairs well with the savory richness of bacon and the sweetness of bananas.
Lapsang Souchong Tea: This smoky black tea has a unique flavor that can complement the smokiness of the bacon in the hors d’oeuvre.
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.
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.
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.
