Serving Size: 15

Cooking Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

• 30 Whole jumbo queen green olives, pitted
• 10 Slices bacon, divided
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) smoked paprika
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) cayenne pepper
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) olive oil

Steps

1. Preheat your grill to medium heat. Lightly oil the grate with olive oil to prevent sticking.
2. In a small bowl, mix the smoked paprika and cayenne pepper. Sprinkle this spice mix over the olives for an added layer of flavor.
3. Wrap each olive with a piece of bacon and secure it with a toothpick. Ensure the bacon is tightly wrapped to prevent it from unraveling during grilling.
4. Place the bacon-wrapped olives on the preheated grill. Grill for about 10 minutes, turning frequently to ensure even cooking. Keep a spray bottle of water handy to manage any flare-ups from the bacon grease.
5. Once the bacon is crisp and golden, remove the olives from the grill and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess grease.
6. Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy the smoky, savory goodness of these bacon-wrapped olive bites.
