Ingredients
- Nonstick aluminum foil
- 6 slices thick-cut bacon (about 9 oz)
- 18 (6-inch) wooden skewers
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cold brew coffee
- 1 teaspoon chipotle powder
- ¼ bunch fresh cilantro
- ¼ bunch fresh green onions
Steps
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line baking sheet with foil; place oven-safe cooling rack on foil-lined baking sheet. Cut bacon into thirds, then thread bacon slices onto skewers diagonally (corner to corner). Place skewers on rack (wash hands).
- Combine syrup, coffee, and chipotle powder; whisk to blend. Divide mixture in half, then brush both sides of bacon with one-half syrup mixture (about 3 tablespoons).
- Bake skewers 15 minutes; brush with remaining-half syrup mixture. Bake 10–12 more minutes until glazed and crispy.
- Chop cilantro and onions (¼ cup each); sprinkle skewers evenly with both. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
