Serving Size: 15

Cooking Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients

• 30 Whole jumbo 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. Prepare the Olives: If desired, stuff each olive with a small piece of garlic or jalapeño for added flavor.
2. Wrap the Olives: Sprinkle the smoked paprika and cayenne pepper evenly over the pieces of divided bacon slices. Wrap each olive with a piece of seasoned bacon and secure with a toothpick.
3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium heat. Lightly oil the grate with olive oil to prevent sticking.
4. Grill the Olives: Place the bacon-wrapped olives on the grill. Cook for about 10 minutes, turning frequently to ensure even cooking and to prevent flare-ups. Use a spray bottle of water to manage any flare-ups from the bacon grease.
5. Serve: Once the bacon is crispy and golden brown, remove the olives from the grill and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess grease. Serve warm and enjoy the smoky, spicy flavors.
