Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup finely diced onion
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 12 slices bacon

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, almond flour, onion, red bell pepper, garlic, dried thyme, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. Take a small handful of the pork mixture and shape it into a small patty. Wrap a slice of bacon around the patty, securing it with a toothpick. Place the wrapped patty on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this process with the remaining pork mixture and bacon slices.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the pork is cooked through.
  5. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve hot as an appetizer or snack.
